Chipsets June2024 Summary Report
Report summary
GSA’s latest Chipsets report confirms that the number of 5G chipsets increased steadily throughout 2023 and looks set to continue into 2024, albeit currently at a much slower rate over the first four months of the year. New modems and mobile processors and platforms are expected from several players, and this will continue to underpin the increasingly broad choice of commercially available 5G devices.
As of 2024, there has been a 5% growth in the number of 5G NR mobile processors and platforms, along with a 3% rise in 5G modems. Seven major semiconductor companies offer commercially available 5G products. GSA has identified 90 such mobile processors and platforms, along with 19 discrete 5G modems. Additionally, five pre-commercial 5G processors and platforms or discrete cellular modems are in the pipeline.
GSA closely monitors 5G chipset capabilities, including support for standalone networks. Among commercially available 5G chipsets, 81% explicitly state support for 5G standalone networks. While detailed information on spectrum support and other features varies, 19 chipsets are known to support voice over New Radio.
Apart from 5G-capable chipsets, GSA has identified 41 commercially available discrete LTE modem chipsets from eight vendors. However, the largest category in the GSA database comprises commercially launched LTE mobile processors and platforms, excluding those specifically designed for IoT applications and those capable of 5G. A total of 268 such chipsets come from 13 vendors.
Other trends highlighted in this latest update include support for VoLTE, eMBMS and unlicensed spectrum, along with 3GPP IoT chipsets.
A full list of the identified commercially available and pre-commercial LTE and 5G mobile processors and platforms and discrete modems, along with data about 3GPP IoT chipsets, is available to GSA members and associates in the Chipset section of GSA’s GAMBoD database updated in May 2024.
