AI connectivity adds a fresh angle

On October 5, MediaTek and Airoha presented a connectivity portfolio covering Wi-Fi, 5G customer-premises equipment and passive optical networking. Press Release Hub said the companies are targeting the migration from Wi-Fi 7 to Wi-Fi 8, from XGS-PON to 50G-PON and from 5G to 5G-Advanced.

The release also identifies Network X 2026 in Vienna as the next product showcase, scheduled for October 13 through October 15. For MediaTek, the commercial question is whether broader connectivity demand can complement its mobile-chip business and support the companys expansion into AI infrastructure.

Q2 revenue reached TWD 152.18 billion

MediaTek reported TWD 152.18 billion in Q2 2026 revenue, up 2 percent sequentially and 1.2 percent year over year. According to Manuals Plus, Q2 net income was TWD 24.6 billion, gross margin was 46.2 percent and EPS was TWD 15.28.

The standardized Q2 statement reports net income of TWD 24.33 billion, giving the stock a clearly profitable earnings base even as quarterly revenue growth stayed in the low single digits. The same report said Smart Edge Platforms grew 19 percent sequentially, while mobile-phone revenue declined 14 percent sequentially.
