Cellular Modem Update: Fall 2022 5G & LTE Developments
A cellular modem is a core component of every cellular device, and the modem is what enables that device to connect to cellular networks. Every cellular device has a cellular modem inside - whether a smartphone, a mobile hotspot, or a cellular router. And how capable the modem inside your cellular device is can make a huge difference in your ability to get connected. And while much of the excitement revolves around the rapidly evolving 5G technology, even 4G/LTE modems continue to improve - with new designs supporting more cellular bands than prior models. Understanding what the modems inside your devices are capable of can help you understand when it makes sense to upgrade or when it might make sense to wait another year. So what is the current state of cellular modems, and what is coming down the pike for 5G and LTE? Which modem should you buy in your next device? And just when will routers come out with the X62/X65 chipset?
