Nokia and Qualcomm Technologies conducted a new test based on the new air interface technology at the Nokia 5G Innovation Center in Oulu, Finland to promote the commercial implementation of 5G technology, which will lay a solid foundation for operators to carry out 5G new airfield test by 2018 Operators Nokia, Qualcomm Technologies and BT / EE, Deutsche Telekom, Elisa, KT, LGU +, NTT DOCOMO, Optus, SK Telecom, Telia and Vodafone * have pledged to jointly test and test 5G new air interface technologies This series of work will be based on the successful interoperability testing done by Nokia and Qualcomm Technologies for the flexible 5G new air interface, which will support a wide range of 5G services and diverse deployment scenarios.
Qualcomm Technologies and Nokia announced their cooperation in 5G new air interface in September 2017 and successfully completed several tests in the near future. Next, Nokia and Qualcomm Technologies will continue to work closely together to accelerate the development of the industry so as to promote 3GPP standards-compliant 5G Infrastructure and terminals will deliver a massive 5G deployment by 2019. This will ensure that commercial networks are available in time for 2019, especially in the United States, China, Japan, South Korea and Europe.
Marc Rouanne, president of Nokia Mobile Networks, said: "These tests, conducted jointly by Nokia and Qualcomm Technologies, are significant to the evolution of 5G and it is worth mentioning that during the testing we delivered to more than 100 customers through Nokia's AirScale base station ) And Qualcomm Technologies' UE prototypes quickly became available for the 3GPP R15 specification, which was finalized in December of 2014. Next, we are very much looking forward to working with standards-based 5G new air interface OTA testing with operators. "
Christianiano Armon, president of Qualcomm Incorporated, said: 'This successful interoperability testing of end-to-end interoperability based on the global 5G new air interface standard completed by Qualcomm and Nokia is the successful launch of 5G new air interface commercial network and terminal in 2019 Laid a solid foundation in the realization of the commercial 5G process, we look forward to working with Nokia and global operators on compliance with the standards of field testing and further cooperation.
