5G, with its substantial bandwidth and lower latency, supports a massive amount of data traffic. The 5G spectrum ranges from sub-6GHz to mmWave and supports a wide variety of applications.
RF Technology for IoT
Wireless connectivity is a cornerstone of Internet of Things (IoT) for ubiquitous information communications. Various wireless systems are available to meet specific requirements for data rate, power consumption and form factor. TSMC provides a comprehensive and competitive solution for Radio Frequency (RF) technology to support a variety of IoT wireless connectivity applications. Features include:
-
Lower power RF technologies, such as 12nm FinFET Compact Plus Radio Frequency (12FFC+ RF) technology and 22nm Ultra-Low Leakage (22ULL) RF for Narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT), Long Term Evolution for Machines (LTE-M), 5G Reduced Capability (5G RedCap), Long Range Radio (LoRa), and Bluetooth.
-
High-performance RF technologies, such as the advanced N6RF+ technology, 16FFC FinFET Compact (16FFC) RF, and 28nm High-Performance Compact Plus (28HPC+) for Wi-Fi, 4G/5G cellular, and 5G mmWave.
