New Delhi: In a bid to push the government’s vision of creating a sustainable telecom ecosystem, technology enterprise and communications solution provider HFCL Limited on Tuesday partnered with chip-maker MediaTek to integrate its chipset with the indoor 5G solution and help telecom operators address last-mile connectivity challenges.
HFCL’s 5G FWA Indoor CPE offers features like ultra-compact form factor and minimal power consumption, owing to MediaTek T750 chipset.
The 7nm compact chipset is equipped with a 5G radio and quad-core Arm CPU, ensuring seamless connectivity across multiple devices with dual-band 4×4 Wi-Fi 6 support, the company said in a statement on the sidelines of ‘MWC 2024’ in Barcelona, Spain.

It is a plug-and-play device that includes an AI-integrated mobile app, enabling user-friendly self-installation and helping identify the best signal location, the company said.
“This partnership is another endeavour to support the Indian government’s vision of creating a sustainable telecom ecosystem by promoting local manufacturing,” said Evan Su, General Manager, Wireless Communications, MediaTek.
“Our modem propels their vision by offering full functionality, enabling device makers to create high-performance CPE products in the smallest, yet the most efficient form factors,” Su added.
As per industry estimates, the global 5G last-mile equipment market is projected to reach $68 billion by 2030.
