During the AIoT Korea Exhibition 2024 in Seoul, FIBOCOM announced the launch of its 5G module FG370-KR, providing outstanding 5G solutions for Korea’s 5G AIoT industry and accelerating the large-scale commercial use of 5G in the country.
According to a 2023 report from the Korea Communications Commission, the number of 5G users in South Korea has reached 32.81 million. Furthermore, global consulting firm Omdia predicts that by the end of 2024, the number of 5G users in South Korea will exceed that of 4G, reaching 69 million by 2028. Currently, the South Korean 5G market is leading globally and shows a strong growth trend. The accelerated commercialization of 5G in Korea is not only generating a wealth of industry applications in sectors such as industrial connectivity, healthcare, smart cities, and entertainment, but is also speeding up the deployment of fixed wireless access (FWA) broadband services. The FIBOCOM 5G module FG370-KR is compatible with mainstream 5G frequency bands in Korea, facilitating the rapid deployment of 5G FWA in the market.
The Fibocom FG370-KR is based on the high-performance MediaTek T830 platform, supporting the 3GPP R16 evolution standard. It utilizes a 4nm process technology and features a quad-core Arm Cortex-A55 CPU, delivering a 10% performance improvement over the previous MediaTek T750 platform. Additionally, the T830 integrates hardware-level MediaTek Network Acceleration Engine and Wi-Fi Offload Engine, providing gigabit-level throughput for 5G cellular network transmission to Ethernet or Wi-Fi without increasing CPU load, thus delivering an exceptional network experience. In terms of 5G speed, the FG370-KR includes the M80 5G modem, supporting Sub-6GHz full-band 5G networks, allowing end customers to enjoy a broadband 5G experience. The FG370-KR supports up to 300MHz bandwidth in FDD and TDD mixed modes, with downlink NR 4CA (four-carrier aggregation) and uplink NR 2CA (two-carrier aggregation), offering downlink speeds of up to 7Gbps. For signal coverage, the FG370-KR supports PC2 technology for High Power User Equipment (HPUE), enhancing 5G uplink capabilities and expanding effective coverage.
The Fibocom FG370-KR supports a variety of peripheral interfaces, including three PCI-Express ports, USB 3.2, and two USXGMII interfaces with speeds of up to 10GbE, and can be expanded with PCM/SPI interfaces to support RJ11 phone interfaces. Meanwhile, the FG370-KR also supports diverse storage configurations, efficiently meeting various storage requirements for different applications.
With MediaTek’s 5G UltraSave power-saving technology, the FG370-KR optimizes its operating mode according to the 5G network environment, reducing communication power consumption and significantly enhancing user experience for broadband access products.
Thanks to these hardware and software features, the FG370-KR will continue to deliver enhanced performance, higher speeds, and greater specialization in comprehensive solutions for end customers. FIBOCOM, as a global leader in MBB FWA solutions, will continue to provide innovative products and solutions for the global 5G market, driving the accelerated development of 5G broadband.
Tao Xi, Vice President of the MBB Product Management Department at FIBOCOM, stated:
“In response to the rapidly developing Korean 5G market, FIBOCOM has launched the high-performance 5G module FG370-KR, helping local operators and end customers achieve commercial success in FWA quickly. Based on the MediaTek T830 platform, the FG370-KR combines powerful 5G features, and its exceptional quality will continue to empower smart homes, enterprise office environments, and other intelligent scenarios. In the future, FIBOCOM will keep providing high-value 5G solutions across various application fields.”
