The technology industry innovates faster every day. When starting a new year, the great players analyze what are those trends that will have a strong impact in the year and this 2020 is no exception. Specifically in the mobile segment, important advances are anticipated, some that will even impact other industries and therefore turn out to be key. According to MediaTek, a global semiconductor company that allows connecting 1.5 billion devices per year, there will be five major IT-level milestones that we will see this year.
- IoT (Internet of Things): Without a doubt, more and more companies are talking about IoT. There are already developments of this technology in many industries. With the arrival of 5G technologies (which include IoT developments), they will allow the connection of millions of devices that were not possible with previous technologies. Very soon we will see more connections and IoT solutions in variants such as measurement, education, medicine and pharmaceuticals.
- 5G Solutions: 5G technology will have great advances this year. Although Latin America is only beginning to make the first efforts around the implementation of this technology with tests at the operator level in 2020, we will find 5G solutions driven by MediaTek Chipsets. This will allow great benefits for consumers and the business sector. That is why MediaTek has already launched its new family of chipsets for 5G Dimensity 1000 and Dimensity 800, which will allow developers to have the latest technology to incorporate high-speed connection services (Up to 5Giga Download Bytes), and low latency (5ms), opening a range of possibilities to new services.
- Technology for Gamers: the video game market has evolved at an exponential rate in recent years, in parallel a device industry has been growing for this purpose. In the beginning, a console dedicated to this purpose was required, but nowadays this has changed and you can find a wide variety of devices ranging from computers, consoles and more recently smartphones. The latter have become a favorite to live the gaming experience because of the mobility facilities they allow. MediaTek develops the technologies to support this market trend, for this it has developed the Helio Chipset family of the G series (Gaming) that allows to take the gaming experience to another level. The MediaTek Helio G90 is one of the first releases for the gamers community.
- Photography: One of the features that has not stopped evolving in recent years for smartphones are cameras. Nowadays it is possible to achieve excellent quality images and videos, becoming one of the main priorities of mobile device consumers. True to this evolution, MediaTek continues with the development of technologies such as Imagiq which allows you to easily capture the best images by incorporating Artificial Intelligence functions and improving resolution and sharpness with sensors up to 64Mpx that allow unique resolutions and a better experience.
- Artificial Intelligence: One of the strongest trends in this year is the widespread use of Artificial Intelligence. Previously the AI functions were very related to the use of online activities, so we see devices such as smart speakers that depend on the internet connection to generate a response. However, in this 2020 one of the important developments will be with the implementation of Edge AI or Artificial Intelligence on the edge, this technology will allow the devices to be intelligent autonomously and can execute tasks without the dependence of a data connection, which will allow devices that can make decisions autonomously according to the parameters of use that their consumers have and adjust automatically.
