MediaTek Shows T930 5G-Advanced FWA Platform With Wi-Fi 8 at Network X 2026

What MediaTek is showing at Network X

MediaTek and its subsidiary Airoha Technology are jointly presenting what they describe as next-generation fixed and wireless broadband connectivity. The portfolio on show spans Wi-Fi, 5G CPE and PON, and the companies say it is aimed at bringing emerging AI applications and services to home, office and on-the-go users.

The centrepiece is the FWA platform, which integrates 5G-Advanced connectivity, Edge AI capabilities and Wi-Fi 8 technology. It combines the MediaTek T930 and Filogic 8800 with advanced RF technologies. MediaTek says the result is an over 70% increase in uplink throughput and an over 40% increase in downlink throughput, maximizing channel utilization.

The platform has also been shortlisted for the Network X Awards 2026 in the category "Best FWA Solution of the Year."

How the T930 reaches those numbers

According to MediaTek, the T930 moves more intelligence and performance optimization to the CPE edge. It integrates AI-AQM, what the company calls the world's first 8Rx 3CC, 3Tx 5L, HPUE PC1 33 dBm and Wi-Fi 8. The aim is to let telecom operators improve FWA service through CPE innovation.

• Downlink: with 8Rx 3CC, the T930 can improve network downlink throughput by more than 40% while extending network coverage, per MediaTek.
• Uplink: the combination of HPUE PC1 and 3Tx 5L increases transmission power by 5 dB, which the company says improves uplink throughput by more than 70%.
• Cost: MediaTek says the resulting increase in overall capacity can help reduce the cost to serve each household and improve network investment efficiency.

AI-AQM and latency for cloud gaming

MediaTek AI-AQM, short for Active Queue Management, brings intelligent queue management to the CPE edge. The company says its validated AI-AQM technology can give cloud gaming users up to a 10x improvement in network latency. It adds that operators can improve the experience for latency-sensitive applications such as cloud gaming without requiring major changes to the core network.

The company frames this against rising demands from AI, cloud gaming and real-time cloud services, which it says continue to push access requirements toward Gigabit bandwidth and ultra-low latency. For operators, it argues, expanding commercial FWA deployment requires higher wireless access performance as well as more capacity and better service quality, while keeping core network upgrade costs under control.

What it means for operators

Evan Su, Vice President and General Manager of the Wireless Communications Business Unit at MediaTek, said that to expand FWA adoption, "mobile network capacity, CPE efficiency and the actual in-home connectivity experience must all be improved simultaneously." He said stronger uplink and downlink capabilities and intelligent traffic management help operators increase the number of subscribers they can serve and improve network efficiency while controlling network upgrade costs.

The performance figures are MediaTek's own claims, and the source gives no pricing, availability or customer details. Network X 2026 runs from 13 to 15 October 2026 at Messe Wien in Vienna, Austria, where MediaTek and Airoha are at Booth K35.
