Top 5G Chip Makers | 5G Chipset Manufacturers
This page mentions 5G Chip Makers or 5G Chipset Manufacturers. The popular top manufacturers of 5G NR chips or chipsets are Huawei, MediaTek, Qualcomm, Samsung, UNISOC/Ziguang Zhanrui, Hi-Silicon, U-Blox etc.
What is 5G NR ?
The fifth generation wireless technology is based on 3GPP standard release 15 and beyond. It succeeds LTE, LTE advanced and LTE advanced pro technologies. It follows 3GPP TS 38.300 specification. It is used for cellular and IoT based applications. In 5G NR, 5G stands for 5th generation where as NR stands for New Radio.
5G NR system operates on different bands viz. sub-1GHz, below 6 GHz and above 6 GHz. The system is designed to offer very high data rates (approx. 1 Gbps to 20 Gbps) with lower latency (approx. 5 msec).
