Nokia and Orange will work on bringing these new services to reality according to signed agreement between them. They would work with other interested related associates for the development and launch of applications based on 5G network.

Aside that, Nokia and Orange will take advantage of the Nokia Flexi Base Station and 5G-ready AirScale radio access portfolio, the AirFrame data centre platform, telco cloud and cybersecurity technologies to fashion out applications making use of the 5G network connectivity.

This effort would embrace application like ultra-broadband leveraging new frequency bands, cloud RAN and massive MIMO, IoT, end-to-end network slicing techniques and energy efficiency techniques.

The chief innovation and operating officer at Nokia, Marc Rouanne, in a statement said,

“Through this collaboration, we will test 5G applications for different industry segments and measure the benefits of extremely short latency and very high speeds. We are also delighted to be applying our world-class R&D expertise in Paris and Lannion in this project.”

We in Nigeria are yet to even have enough of 3G services, 4G is just for some selected areas even in big cities. NOW THEY ARE TALKING OF 5G NETWORK. We will definitely get there.
