#MediaTek T700 5G modem

The technology behind this is MediaTek's T700 5G modem which supports non-standalone and standalone (SA) Sub-6 5G network architectures. MediaTek also said that the modem is highly power-efficient to extend the battery of Intel-powered laptops. The first laptops enabled by the MediaTek and Intel 5G modem solution are expected in early 2021. Reports suggest that Google’s upcoming Tensor G6 chip, which will power the Pixel 11 series, may feature a MediaTek modem instead of Samsung’s Exynos. According to tipster Mystic Leaks, Google is conducting early internal tests using the MediaTek M90 5G modem for the Pixel 11 and Tensor G6. A command line screenshot shared online shows the baseband version listed as “a900a” and a bootloader name “spacecraft,” succeeding the Pixel 10’s “deepspace.” MediaTek first introduced the M90 5G modem at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2025 last February. While MediaTek did not disclose the modem’s manufacturing process, it is expected to rival Samsung’s Exynos 5400i, which was built on a 4nm process and used in both the Pixel 9 and Pixel 10.
