Samsung Exynos Modem 5410 Launched with Integrated Satellite Support
Samsung launched its Exynos Modem 5410 with integrated satellite support. Samsung has officially announced next-gen flagship modem Exynos Modem 5410. This chip is to be paired with the upcoming Exynos 2600 processor in future high-end smartphones of the company and features full support for all major communication standards, including direct-to-satellite connectivity.
Key Technical Specifications
Some of the technological advancements in the Exynos Modem 5410 include:
- Fabrication Process:Nanometer process node.
- 5G Standard:Based on 3GPP Release 17 standard.
- Peak Download Speed:Preparing download speeds under 14.79 Gbps.
- 5G Bands:Simultaneous connection to both FR1 (sub-6 GHz) and FR2 (millimeter-wave) 5G bands.
- Legacy Support:Backward compatibility is provided for LTE-FDD and LTE-TDD standards.
Direct Satellite Communication Capabilities
A prime highlight of Exynos Modem 5410 is the modem's native support for non-terrestrial networks (NTN). This includes compliance with the NB-IoT NTN and NR-NTN satellite communication standards. The integration allows the modem to perform several functions by satellite, including:
- Sending & receiving text messages.
- Making & receiving regular phone calls.
- Engaging in video calls.
Higher Efficiency & Security
The new modem provides significant improvements in power efficiency and overall performance when compared with its predecessor, says Samsung. The chip also provides the all-new security feature called post-quantum cryptography, aimed at safeguarding sensitive matter against all hacking methods, current and future. This is supposed to protect sensitive data like the device's IMEI, communication authentication keys, and other cryptographic resources.
