The Global mobile Suppliers Association (GSA) announced that MediaTek, a Taiwanese fabless chipmaker, has joined the industry association representing the global 4G and 5G mobile ecosystem as a new GSA Executive Member.

Mingxi Fan, General Manager, Communication System Design at MediaTek said,"As a leading global semiconductor supplier in wireless and multimedia, and a leading contributor to 3GPP, MediaTek will further contribute to this joint effort towards the timely delivery of 5G Advanced and 6G technologies and commercial launches." 

MediaTek will also be an active member of the GSA Spectrum Group’s 6G joint working group which has begun the process of gathering and building consensus across the mobile ecosystem ahead of next year’s ITU World Radio-communication Conference (WRC-23) and the lead up to WRC-27.

“IMT 6G spectrum will be recommended at WRC-23, but not until the next conference four years later in 2027 will the frequency bands be debated. However, to get something onto the agenda for WRC-27 you need to propose it at WRC-23 and that is why it is important that the mobile ecosystem works together now to provide contributions to the ITU’s programme as well as the regional and national arenas. Discussions around 6G standards are also highly topical, even if the launch of 6G will be from around the year 2030 onwards. The regulatory work on 6G spectrum and standards will take some ten years and we welcome the timely contribution MediaTek will make as a new GSA Executive Member to this process.” said Joe Barrett, president of GSA.
