legacy 2G–4G standards.
Market Drivers & Trends
- Adoption
of 5G Devices
• The global uptake of 5G-capable devices is a primary growth engine. Consumers and enterprises demand faster download/upload speeds, ultra-low latency, and greater network capacity. Multi-mode chipsets that support both 5G and previous generations ensure broad device interoperability and extend product lifecycles. - R&D
of New Products
• Continuous investment in chipset innovation—across baseband units, RF front-ends, and integrated SoCs—fuels incremental improvements in throughput and energy consumption. Initiatives such as Samsung’s third-gen mmWave RFICs and second-gen 5G modems exemplify the push toward higher integration and performance. - Edge
Computing & IoT Integration
• The emergence of edge-computing architectures and proliferation of IoT endpoints (smart homes, industrial sensors, autonomous vehicles) require versatile connectivity modules. Multi-mode chipsets are becoming integral to IoT gateways and edge nodes, balancing cost, performance, and simultaneous multi-network access. - Regulatory
& Spectrum Allocations
• Governments in regions like North America and Europe are reopening legacy spectrum bands for private LTE and 5G deployments. This regulatory momentum encourages chipset suppliers to develop solutions tailored for industrial and enterprise private networks.
