International recognition specification for 5G is 'done deal'

--- The Finalization of the 3GPP Non-Standalone 5G NR Standard Aligns Industry Leaders Around Internationally Recognized 5G Radio Specifications --- On it's website, Intel has taken time to congratulate all involved with the new 3GPP Non-Standalone (NSA) 5G New Radio (NR) Standard that was recently completed. The new standard is seen as a “remarkable step forward for the industry.” With the NSA 5G NR standard complete, for the first item there is now an internationally recognized specification for 5G radio systems. This is the foundation on which the mobile industry can move forward on testing and commercializing next-gen wireless services and devices. Some of the first devices that we see on 5G technology will include Internet of Things and enhanced Mobile Broadband. 5G tech will also find a place in the automotive market with Vehicle-to-Everything Communications (V2X). Intel notes that it has already been testing in these segments with 5G technologies.

Intel worked with other major tech firms on that technology including Eriksson, Nokia, AT&T, Korea Telecom, NTT Docomo, and Verizon. Intel notes that it has evolved its MTP right along with the progress of the NR specifications getting its technology ready for the finalization of the standard.
