Samsung introduced new 5G chipsets to fill the empty space left by Huawei

Samsung Electronics on Tuesday shared its 5G vision and unveiled a line-up of new chipsets at a virtual event. The new chipsets that include a 3rd generation RFIC, 2nd generation 5G modem, and DFE-RFIC integrated chip were unveiled as a part of the company’s initiative to help foster compact and efficient, yet high-performing 5G solutions.

Samsung is taking advantage of bans on Huawei products by launching 5G technology that directly fills the void. The company has introduced a trio of 5G chipsets ahead of Mobile World Congress 2021 that (along with an antenna) could scoop up business Huawei has been forced to leave behind.

For most people, a new 5G modem will likely have the greatest impact. Samsung has introduced a second-generation 5G modem system-on-chip that doubles the capacity of an upcoming baseband chip while using half as much power as the previous model. Expect it to form the heart of a third-gen 5G Compact Macro box that promises higher bandwidth (a 400MHz swath), more frequency, and lower power draw.

Samsung is also delivering a new-generation millimeter wave radio frequency integrated circuit (RFIC) with much smaller antennas and reduced power use, while another melds a digital/analog front end with an RFIC to double bandwidth while shrinking size. An all-encompassing One Antenna Radio, meanwhile, is both more compact and easier to roll out on networks.

The tech giant also teased its 6G plans. Samsung has explored the world beyond 5G by looking at very high frequency terahertz wireless and testing a 140GHz wireless link. The company envisions 6G helping mixed reality, “high-fidelity” holograms, and even digital replicas of real technology. We wouldn’t expect 6G to arrive any time soon when 5G is barely available, but the tease shows where Samsung is headed.

This is back-end equipment that you likely won’t see first-hand. However, the Samsung hardware could lead to more and faster 5G coverage for your phones and other mobile devices. It’s also bad news for Huawei as it continues to bleed share in everything from cellular networks through to the phones themselves — Samsung could effectively fill Huawei’s shoes by becoming a true wireless powerhouse that controls everything from the phones to the behind-the-scenes equipment.
