MediaTek continues to invest in India, eyes RedCap devices to enhance consumer experience: David Ku
TAIPEI: Taiwanese fabless chipset company MediaTek said that it will continue to invest in India to expand operations including headcount, and says 5G reduced capacity (RedCap) Internet of Things (IoT)-based devices would enhance consumer experience. 'India is a great opportunity. Resource and operation-wise, we are continuing to invest. We'll start with beefing up more marketing initiatives in India,' David Ku, COO and CFO, MediaTek said. In 2024, the Hsinchu-based multinational earned $16.5 billion in revenues, and has more than 21,000 employees worldwide that includes over 1,000 employees in India. It spent nearly 25% or $4 billion on research and development (R&D) activities last year. On Tuesday, the Taiwanese company, founded by Ming-Kai Tsai, debuted the world's smallest chipset to power smartphones. The 2-nanometer (nm) chip would be commercially available by next quarter. TSMC, a MediaTek partner, is expected to commence mass production of the 2nm processor soon. The company is also banking on RedCap technology-enabled devices as a part of its IoT strategy. 'It's (RedCap) actually is not just a product, it's actually a customer engagement. And probably, we will start with IoT and also wearables,' the top executive said. The new technology products, according to Ku, consume less power, and leverage fifth-generation or 5G networks that allow low-latency communication. The 5G RedCap-based devices offer a range of capabilities and high performance levels, and enable mid-range IoT applications such as Extended Reality (XR) glasses, health monitors, wearables and sensors, and video surveillance cameras. Citing power efficiency, the executive said that consumers could get the benefit of the 5G although sometimes they don't want the legacy of the 5G. 'For IoT, power consumption is very important. If you use the traditional modem, the power consumption is not going to fit the profile.' The technology is designed to bridge the gap between conventional 5G and IoT, focusing on applications that require moderate data rates and low power consumption, in addition to native 5G features such as network slicing. It has emerged as a key component of 5G technology . Distinguished by its efficient spectrum utilisation, low power consumption, and cost benefits. Emerged last year, the 5G RedCap technology is poised to play a role in a wide range of industries, according to the London-based GSMA. In February last year, MediaTek launched its 5G RedCap portfolio - MediaTek T300 platform, an RF-system-on-chip (SoC) for IoT applications, built with MediaTek's M60 modem. Earlier, the Taiwanese chipset company said that it would be collaborating with leading infrastructure providers and telecom carriers worldwide to connect to 5G SA networks and conduct Voice over New Radio (VoNR) calls and data transmissions using the MediaTek T300 platform.

The 35 rules of train travel every passenger should follow
Train travel is an excellent way to see a country. A planet-friendly way to get to work. And a surefire way to get thwacked in the face by the person next to you who didn't have the sense to take their backpack off in a crowd. Article content Article content Then there are the seat sprawlers who try to take up extra real estate with their bags, the café car squatters who leave no room for anyone else to eat and — worst of all — the extroverts who run conference calls from the quiet car. At least on planes, you can't be talking on your phone. Article content Article content 'I think being on a long train journey, trapped inside a metal tube for several hours, seems to do something to people's behaviour,' said William Hanson, a Britain-based etiquette coach and author. 'They sort of forget that it's not their own private royal train.' Article content Article content Better to make sure you're on the right track now than when a conductor is inches from your panicked face. Article content Leave no trace at the gate Article content Clean up food wrappers, coffee cups and crumbs large enough to count as an amuse bouche. Article content Tuck in all extremities, including legs and luggage wheels, while you're sprawled on the floor or running to board (We told you to get there early!) Article content Got help? Make sure to tip. Article content If you are travelling Amtrak at a station that offers it, make use of the Red Cap baggage handling service. Don't forget to tip. Article content Article content Don't zone out Article content Pay attention to signs and announcements; that gate assignment can be stealth. Article content Boarding Article content This is not a stampede Article content When the gate number is announced, remember: You are not an elephant. Proceed to your gate calmly and queue up. Article content Don't block the doors Article content Make room for the people exiting the train. Riding the train is not a contact sport, so don't act like an offensive lineman. Article content Be someone's hero and help carry a heavy bag up the stairs or hoist it in the overhead compartment. We all need a little kindness. Article content Watch your backpack Article content Take off your pack, and hold it in front like a baby sling, so you don't bash the person behind you in the face. Article content Four-seaters are for four people Article content We love space, too. But leave the four-seater open for families or friend quartets. If a four-seater is open once the train starts moving, sit diagonal from your fellow passengers, not directly across from them, so your knees aren't kissing.
