I'm not aware of Mediatek competing with LTE modems for routers, not even low-tier. I'm aware they are trying again now with 5G, but also here I'm not seeing big tractions for commercial products...
Could you name an example device or chipset of a Mediatek-based LTE-router?
- mschuster91 3y agoThere's the RUT951-LTE [0] with an unspecified Mediatek SoC, and for tablets there's stuff like the mt8735d [1] (e.g. Lenovo Tab [2]).

- rickdeckard 3y ago- According to the website, RUT951-LTE is based on a MIPS 24kc CPU from Mediatek, which is their major router platform, and does not include an LTE-Modem. It's likely MT7628K [1] - The second example MT8735D is a tablet SoC (not just a modem but also a CPU, GPU, Audio DSP, Camera ISP etc in one package) [1] https://www.mediatek.com/products/home-networking/mt7628k-n-a https://www.mediatek.com/products/home-networking/mt7628k-n-...
