Vodafone, MediaTek achieve 5G SA uplink speed of 277Mbps during trial in Spain
NEW DELHI: British telecom group Vodafone and Taiwanese chip company MediaTek have achieved an uplink of 277Mbps using the former's 5G standalone (SA) network during a trial in Spain, to support the connectivity demand for user-generated content and a booming number of artificial intelligence (AI) applications. The companies in a joint statement on Wednesday said while nearly 90% of the mobile traffic utilises downlink, the trend is now changing, as mobile users are increasingly uploading their videos and content online, necessitating faster uplink connections. 'We are continually improving the performance of our European networks to meet growth in traffic, a trend that's unlikely to slow down especially with the popularity of video sharing sites and cloud services, as well as AI applications in the near future,' said Marco Zangani, director of network strategy & architecture, Vodafone. The trial, which happened at Vodafone's test facility near Madrid, Spain, utilised MediaTek's latest M90 modem. The chipmaker's processor delivers download speeds of up to 12Gbps and boosts uplink performance by up to 20% based on the latest 5G specification, Release 17, developed by 3GPP. The companies were able to further boost the 5G uplink connection by using carrier aggregation to combine various spectrum channels. Additionally, Vodafone and MediaTek used MIMO (multiple input, multiple output) antennas to transmit two data streams simultaneously from a single smartphone to the nearest mast, as well as tested it with the two key mobile data transmission methods – Frequency Division Duplex (FDD) and Time Division Duplex (TDD). HC Hwang, general manager of wireless communication system and partnership at MediaTek, added, 'Enhancing uplink performance using groundbreaking technology will ensure next generation 5G experiences continue to support users globally.' Currently, commercial smartphones do not yet support this feature, as they need uplink MIMO in FDD, but Vodafone and MediaTek said they aim to drive the development of compatible devices.

MCPTT (Mission-Critical PTT) & Broadband PTT (Push to Talk) Market Research Report 2025-2030 - Public Safety and Utility Sectors Propel Growth of 3GPP-compliant MCX Services Worldwide
MCPTT (Mission-Critical PTT) is an evolution of PoC or PTToC (PTT-Over-Cellular) technology aimed at meeting or exceeding the performance of mission-critical group communications in digital LMR (Land Mobile Radio) systems, such as APCO P25 and TETRA. Besides enabling voice services with fast call setup times, clear audio quality in high-noise environments, priority/preemption, and other differentiating features, MCPTT solutions may also incorporate MCVideo (Mission-Critical Video) and MCData (Mission-Critical Data) capabilities. The three services are collectively referred to as MCX or MCS (Mission-Critical PTT, Video & Data) in 3GPP terminology. MCPTX and PTX (Push-to-Anything) are additional marketing terms that some suppliers use. Dublin, May 21, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "MCPTT & Broadband PTT Market: 2025-2030 - Opportunities, Challenges, Strategies & Forecasts" report from SNS Telecom & IT has been added to offering. The research estimates that MCPTT and broadband PTT service revenue will grow at a CAGR of approximately 11% between 2025 and 2028, eventually accounting for more than $12 billion by the end of 2028. Although non-critical broadband PTT services will continue to constitute the bulk of subscriptions, much of this growth will be driven by 3GPP-compliant MCX (MCPTT, MCVideo & MCData) service offerings, which are increasingly being adopted by business and mission-critical end user organizations of all sizes across a host of industries. While some end user organizations are already migrating from legacy LMR systems to broadband networks, the general consensus in the public safety community is that a complete LMR-to-broadband transition is not possible without the commercial availability of 5G NR sidelink-enabled chipsets. 5G sidelink technology enables 3GPP devices to communicate directly without relying on network infrastructure, much like direct mode operation in LMR systems, which is especially useful for firefighters and other first responders operating in coverage-limited spaces inside buildings, stairwells, multi-level basements, and tunnels or disaster scenarios in remote locations not served by the network. To address the gap in D2D (Device-to-Device) communications functionality, frontrunners have initially adopted interim solutions, including LMR-based RSMs (Remote Speaker Microphones) and hybrid LMR-broadband devices. Following recent lab and field demonstrations, there are also realistic hopes of seeing production-grade implementations of MCX over the 5G sidelink interface in the coming years. Key Questions Answered How big is the opportunity for MCPTT and broadband PTT services? What trends, drivers, and challenges are influencing its growth? What will the market size be in 2028 and at what rate will it grow? Which submarkets and verticals will see the highest percentage of growth?
