5G is a hot topic. The most advanced wireless technology being used

At the ongoing Mobile World Congress, Barcelona, Nokia
and NTT DoCoMo have teased an amazing 5G speed of 2Gbps. The companies

Nokia and Japan’s NTT DoCoMo are gearing up to showcase the technology
at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. They said that they’ll be giving a demo of
their early progress of 5G radio equipment during the Mobile World
Congress this week.
NTT DoCoMo’s chief technology officer, Seizo
Onoe said, “We believe that high-frequency spectrum shall be used not
just for small cells as a means to complement the existing network, but
also for building solid area coverage through coordination with existing
lower frequency bands. The success of this indoor trial with Nokia
Networks using the 70GHz band marks an important step forward in our 5G
vision for 2020.”
Nokia expects to see a 10,000 fold growth in data traffic in next twenty years and about 50 billion devices will be using mobile networks by 20125. Back in September 2014, Nokia made an announcement that it was trailing 5G in Finland.
