Nokia to supply 5G baseband products to mobile operator NTT DOCOMO

By TechTaffy Desk

Nokia has signed an agreement with Japanese mobile operator NTT DOCOMO to supply 5G baseband products for deployment in a mobile network planned to be in commercial service by 2020.

Nokia will also be enhancing existing baseband units and integrating its 5G New Radio (5G NR)-based AirScale hardware in the network, said the companies in a statement.

Based on the agreement, Nokia  will support NTT DOCOMO in the evolution of its network from 4G/LTE to 5G, providing technology based on the new 3GPP-compliant 5G NR standard, the first stage of which was published shortly before the end of 2017.
