TOKYO -- Japanese telecom company NTT is quickly expanding a nascent international alliance for post-5G network technology, with 65 potential partners lined up including Microsoft.
Though 5G wireless services are only just getting up and running around the world, NTT, as Nippon Telegraph and Telephone is known, is eager to grab a leadership role for the industry's next phase. One goal is to mass produce low-energy optical semiconductors that would allow smartphones to run a whole year on a single charge.
