"Developed in collaboration with Starlink, MediaTek's support for wireless emergency alert messages via satellite communication was showcased at MWC 2026 on Tuesday. The company demonstrated the feature on a device equipped with its MediaTek M90 modem, which was showcased at last year's MWC, and supports Sub-6GHz connectivity. The feature is designed to enable support for connectivity, even when a user is not within range of a telecom service provider's tower."
"According to the chipmaker, smartphones users with compatible MediaTek chips can receive three different alerts from three systems: the Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA) framework, Commercial Mobile Alert System (CMAS) and the Earthquake and Tsunami Warning System (ETWS)."
"Meanwhile, the chipmaker also showcased "privacy-first" AI glasses at MWC 2026. Dubbed 'Omni Glasses' the wearable device works with the MediaTek's Dimensity 9500 smartphone chipset to offer support for some features that work without network connectivity. They also offer real-time situational awareness, relying on the company's flagship mobile chip."
