Under the terms of agreement, Nokia Solutions and Networks, the network equipment division of Nokia and NTT DOCOMO will work jointly on a 5G proof of concept (PoC) system. Both the companies will initially focus on exploring the potential of the millimetre wave technology in the 70 GHz spectrum band.
