It supports theĀ NarrowBand IoT R14 radio technology, in cooperation with GSM/GPRS connectivity, so this means that you can use a GSM SIM card in a wearable (equipped with this SoC) in order to have full network coverage. It packs aĀ single-core ARM7 processor clocked at 260MHz, that has 160KB + 4MB embedded storage and it can easily run Linux-Based applications if developers are ready to work on it.

TheĀ Mediatek MT2621 has full support for camera, audio AMPĀ interfaces for devices with sight and sound, along with Bluetooth 4.2 compatibility. It’s not strange to see this type of chipsets becoming available more and more in the coming months, as this type of technology is going to become a standard soon.Ā 

We expect to see the first IoT and wearable devices equipped with theĀ Mediatek MT2621 chipset, by the first months of 2018.
