TOKYO -- Global telecom companies are accelerating their efforts to roll out the fifth-generation wireless network technology within several years. The ultra-speedy mobile networks will create new possibilities for mobile devices, such as streaming ultrahigh-resolution 8K video.
NTT Docomo of Japan on May 22 held a 5G demonstration at Tokyo Skytree, together with the tower's operator, Tobu Railway. "We will lead the world with our 5G technology," vowed Kazuhiro Yoshizawa, president of the mobile communications carrier, later that day.
