Since the announcement of the 30th commercial 5G contract at the end of March, the company has seen an average of one major contract win each week - with a steady pipeline in place for further agreements.  

Early rollouts of 5G have been well publicized in North America, Korea, and Europe and Nokia is looking forward to announcing its work with operators in emerging nations and regions such as India and Latin America over the coming months. 

With an end-to-end portfolio that is unique in the industry, Nokia says it can now work in partnership with operators to deliver 'real 5G'.

In line with this Nokia President and Chief Executive Officer Rajeev Suri, said, "The pace of 5G progress is accelerating across the globe. We are delivering significant performance increases to operators and the power of Nokia's end-to-end portfolio is being recognized. In fact, in pretty much every network where Nokia products are deployed, we are the performance leader. Here and now - at the beginning of one of the most radical technology transitions ever with 4G giving way to 5G - this is Nokia's time to shine."

Suri further said, "Nokia's ability to deliver on crucial network transformation goals has been rewarded by the confidence shown in the company from our existing customers. To date, every 4G customer that has come to us to investigate how we may work with them for 5G has selected Nokia as a vendor and cumulatively we believe we have a higher share with these customers in 5G than we had in 4G."
