TCL, the company who announced DragonHinge technology for foldable phones a couple of days ago has now announced the company’s first functional 5G USB data terminal. Currently, in its pre-launch stage, the device highlights the partnership between TCL Communication and China Mobile in the 5G commercial terminal business. TCL plans to launch the device in Q2 2019 as its first 5G terminal product, becoming one of the first manufacturers to do so. Additionally, TCL Communication exhibited 5G CPE and smartphone devices at the Mobile World Congress. The company also showcased a few 5G devices at the event.
TCL’s 5G USB data terminal will make it possible for PC end users to enjoy high-speed rates of 4Gbps downlink and 2Gbps uplink. At the same time, it uses SA networking mode, n41 and n78 frequency band, 200M bandwidth, 4×4 MIMO, and other solutions to provide consumers with quick and easy access to productivity tools, software services and high-graphic games in the cloud. The terminal is equipped with a large 4000mAh battery to ensure full-day use, as well as the MediaTek Helio M70, the chipmaker’s first-generation 5G chip. It also supports independent networking (SA) and non-independent networking (NSA), and 4G/5G multi-mode multi-frequency, providing users with multi-entry access services worldwide.
TCL Communication has fully developed 5G R&D and actively participated in standard customization. They were one of the first to implement the pre-5G end-to-end solution demonstration at MWC last year. Today TCL Communication has 5G innovation labs in Paris, France and Shanghai, China, and an international team staffed with PhDs, experts, and engineers.
“It’s essential that we take advantage of the many opportunities in this nascent field, and we play an important role through providing aid and resources to the 5G trials and commercial projects of our operators’ partners,” said Charles ZOU, General Manager of Global R&D Center of TCL Communicationat the 2019 Global TD-LTE Initiative (GTI) Summit held by China Mobile in Barcelona today. “TCL Communication will continue the exploration of 5G technology and focus on the research and development of terminal products such as smartphones, tablets, data terminals, and Internet of Things. TCL is happy to be one of the first manufacturers to launch 5G products.”
