Japanese telecoms and tech giants NTT, DOCOMO, and NEC have demonstrated a distributed MIMO technology system that maintains communication quality in the mmWave 40 GHz band when a large number of antennas are distributed among multiple locations.

Open RAN solutions provider OREX SAI has signed an MoU with Singapore telco StarHub to jointly deploy commercial Open RAN solutions for StarHub’s Cloud Infinity and 4G/5G macro network.

Non-terrestrial communications infrastructure provider Space Compass and Japan's mobile operator NTT Docomo have completed data connectivity tests between an LTE base station and smartphones using high-altitude platform stations (HAPS) from the stratosphere above Kenya.

Japanese mobile phone operator NTT Docomo plans to deploy new radio dual connectivity using three frequency bands—two Sub-6 (3.7GHz and 4.5GHz bands) and millimetre-wave (28GHz band)—to deliver what it claims Japan’s fastest download speed of up to 6.6Gbps using standalone (SA) architecture.

Finnish telecommunications vendor Nokia, Japanese mobile telecommunications operator NTT Docomo, and NTT claims to be the first three companies to have implemented artificial intelligence and machine learning into radio interface, giving 6G radios the ability to learn and have used sub-terahertz (sub-THz) spectrum to boost network capacity.

Japanese mobile operator NTT Docomo will showcase exhibitions and presentations focused on 6G, open RAN, extended reality and will promote international standardisation and global business for next-generation communication technologies for the first time since the pandemic at MWC Barcelona 2023 from 27 February and 2 March.

Japanese mobile phone operator NTT Docomo has deployed Finnish telecommunications vendor Nokia’s artificial intelligence radio frequency capacity planning software to roll out its 5G network and accelerate radio frequency planning.

JTower and NTT Docomo have signed a deal with the aim of promoting the infrastructure of Docomo’s telecommunication towers.

NTT Docomo and NEC have launched a proof-of-concept (PoC) testing to run NEC's 5G core network (5GC) service in a hybrid cloud environment that leverages the Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud using end-to-end cloud-native network architecture. Through the PoC, Docomo, NEC, and AWS expect to prove the viability of cloud-native mobile networks leveraging a public cloud for network function virtualisation (NFV).

Airbus, Nippon Telegraph and Telephone, NTT Docomo, and Sky Perfect JSAT are studying the feasibility of high-altitude platform stations (HAPS)-based connectivity services as part of a future space-based wireless connectivity ecosystem.

NTT DOCOMO announced that it has developed an antenna system capable of creating a high-frequency mobile communication cell when a small (roughly one cubic centimetre) piece of plastic is placed on top of a dielectric waveguide.

Mobile phone operator NTT Docomo and information technology company NEC have conducted a successful testing for 5G standalone by deploying 5G base station baseband unit (5G CU/DU) conforming to O-RAN open interface specifications and radio units (RUs) of different vendors.

Nokia announced that it is ready to supply its O-RAN fronthaul multi-vendor solution to NTT DOCOMO's 5G network following successful testing. The move will enable the Japanese operator to further select independent combinations of hardware and software to optimise its network in the future.

Aerospace company Airbus and Japanese mobile phone operator NTT Docomo have conducted a trial to demonstrate the solar-powered Zephyr High Altitude Platform Station (HAPS) to deliver future wireless broadband connectivity.

The GSMA announced the formation of a global accelerator initiative to drive awareness of 5G mmWave technology.

NEC announced the joint development of RAN Intelligent Controllers (RIC) with NTT DOCOMO, INC. (DOCOMO) in support of intelligent Radio Access Networks (RAN). The two companies are aiming to reduce RAN operational costs, improve performance, and reduce power consumption through the use of RIC.

It isn't just Nokia, Ericsson and Huawei who are major 5G players - there are companies like Qualcomm who make the 5G modems that go into phones, along with Samsung Samsung Electronics which is also another major player.

COVID-19 initially slowed mobile phone sales in the Asia Pacific and disrupted supply chains and demand for certain 5G-related end verticals, according to a new analyst report which now forecasts that digital factory revenues are primed for a post-COVID recovery worth US60 billion by 2030.

Total telecom and pay-TV services revenue in Japan is set to grow at a moderate compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 2.3% between 2018 and 2023, according to a new analyst report.

Nokia, NTT DOCOMO, and OMRON Corporation are to conduct joint field trials using 5G at their plants and other production sites.
