According to Nokia, the milestone achieved on December 23, 2016, represents the world's first established 5G connection based on the 5GTF interface, the industry-agreed specification for "pre-standard" 5G applications. This specification was established during the Verizon 5G Technology Forum (5GTF), formed in late 2015 to address the growing need for a 5G standard. Both Intel and Nokia are active members of this forum.
Together, Intel and Nokia have committed to leveraging their comprehensive 5G technology to accelerate the development and adoption of 5G solutions. The collaboration between the two companies exemplifies how the industry is working together to make 5G technology a reality.
