At Network X 2025 in Paris, MediaTek and its subsidiary Airoha Technology are unveiling a first-of-its-kind edge and cloud AI Fiber Gateway platform, custom-built for global telecom operators. Designed to tackle carrier-specific challenges, the platform promises a 30% boost in network efficiency, improved Quality of Experience (QoE), and enhanced operational profitability.
Leveraging MediaTek’s chips—which power more than 2 billion connected devices worldwide each year—the new platform combines cutting-edge Wi-Fi 7 Filogic 680 and XGS-PON AN7581 chipsets to deliver robust edge AI capabilities for telecom networks. Supporting frameworks like prplOS, RDK-B, and OpenWrt, the system uses AI-driven autonomous learning to manage traffic between Wi-Fi and PON networks, reduce latency, and improve energy efficiency.
Carrier-Grade AI for Smarter Networks
The gateway enables AI-driven traffic management, instant troubleshooting, and real-time experience optimization. AI-powered QoE technology classifies traffic intelligently and dynamically adjusts network resources, achieving over 30% improvement in user experiences. Key features include:
- FTTH packet congestion management: Reduces bottlenecks at fiber endpoints.
- Wi-Fi anti-interference technology: Boosts throughput by 20% while lowering latency.
- Automated root-cause analysis: Cuts Mean Time to Recovery (MTTR) by 40%.
- Machine learning for user behavior: Minimizes buffering, optimizes gaming downloads, and ensures smooth video conferencing.
Operators can now monitor anomalies, allocate bandwidth efficiently, and streamline network operations—all at the edge—reducing downtime and maximizing ROI.
Unlocking New AI Service Opportunities
The AI Fiber Gateway supports up to 50 TOPS of Neural Processing Unit (NPU) performance. When combined with a Personal AI Supercomputer, it enables private micro-AI clouds, allowing telecom operators to monetize AI-driven services on top of existing fiber infrastructure.
MediaTek’s expansive edge AI ecosystem spans over 2 billion devices annually—including smartphones, AR/VR glasses, smart TVs, set-top boxes, and more—positioning the company as a strategic partner for telecoms seeking to pioneer AI-powered services and drive next-generation broadband experiences.
As telecoms grapple with rising bandwidth demands and complex traffic patterns, MediaTek and Airoha’s AI Fiber Gateway represents a major leap toward autonomous, AI-optimized networks, combining high performance, scalability, and real-time intelligence.
