HELSINKI (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 19th May, 2020) Nokia has set a new world record for the 5G speed, registering 4.7 billions of bits per second (Gbps) on a US operator's network in Dallas, the Finnish telecommunications company said on Tuesday.
"Nokia today announced it has achieved the world's fastest 5G speeds in its Over-the-Air (OTA) network in Dallas, Texas.
