After Intel pulled out of the 5G modem market, the USA has only one supplier – Qualcomm. With the addition of Unisoc to HiSilicon as a supplier, China has two.

Unisoc’s Ivy 510 5G modem is to be fabbed on TSMC’s 7nm process this year, according to Unisoc CEO Steve Chu.

Unisoc will join a band of five suppliers of 5G modems: Qualcomm, Mediatek, HiSilicon, Samsung and Unisoc.

All of them, except Samsung, will have their modems made on TSMC’s 7nm process.
