WHY SAMSUNG PARTNERED WITH XILINX FOR 5G NETWORK CHIP

Samsung is collaborating with Xilinx — a programmable chipmaker — to deliver superior 5G connectivity that will become the driving force for all technological developments in the coming years. In the world where data is ubiquitous, excellent connectivity is still a massive challenge for businesses to harness the potential of data. The absence of a network that can connect the entire world and transfer a colossal amount of data within seconds is causing hindrance in the development of some of the most awaited technologies like IoT, self-driving cars, and more. However, a robust 5G network can cater to the rising need for speed and low latency connectivity for another wave of innovation. But, there are numerous challenges in the adoption of 5G technology since it is hardware intensive, has weak coverage area, and requires more capital. Therefore, before 5G can assist in other technological innovations, researchers need to come up with advanced solutions to make 5G easily adaptable as well as affordable. Xilinx is one such company that is innovating in the space to democratise 5G technology with state-of-the-art programmable chips that can take flexible hardware to a new level.
