5G networks may be closer than we think.
Nokia has announced that it has entered a partnership with Japanese telecom company NTT DoCoMo to supply 5G the telecom company with wireless radio stations.
The contract is the first of its kind for Nokia’s new 5G equipment, which is based on New Radio standards.
The specifications for NR were only finalized in December of last year.
The current terms of the deal suggest that DoCoMo will have 5G service available in Tokyo in time for the 2020 Olympics.
Once 5G has been established in the greater Tokyo region, the telecom company plans to roll it out to the rest of the country.
Canada roared to victory at the Rugby Americas North Sevens in the Cayman Islands to book their spot in the men’s game at the Tokyo 2020 Summer Games.
They began at the Truman Bodden National Sports Complex in George Town with a 47-5 quarter-final win over Guyana before a 55-0 demolition of Bermuda in the last four.
In the gold medal match, they were too strong for Jamaica winning 40-5 to claim the sole Tokyo Olympics 2020 space available from the tournament.
Canada had failed to reach the Olympics via the 2018-2019 World Rugby Sevens Series and sacked English coach Damian McGrath in May replacing him on an interim basis with New Zealand-born Henry Paul.

Karate, a system of unarmed combat that literally means "empty hand," is said to have developed during the 17th century in the Okinawa prefecture, a chain of islands off the southern coast of Japan.
Despite being popularized worldwide as a sport after World War II, karate -- along with four other sports -- will be part of the Summer Olympics for the first time in 2020.
Fittingly, it makes its Olympic debut in Japan, where the sport, which involves executing arm- and leg-based strikes, first originated.
It joins judo, taekwondo, and wrestling as the only Olympics-approved martial arts -- for 2020 anyway: Karate failed to make the cut for the Paris Olympics in 2024.
