The new AirScale 5G products are based on Nokia's ReefShark system on a chip (SoC).
The project is one of Europe’s largest public-private partnerships, with a budget of €700 million.
The new radios will be available next year and are designed for global markets.
The design should be a milestone for 5G Core data traffic routing, replacing 3G-era tunnelling of mobile data to a few fixed anchor points.
The operator has launched a new brand, SIMon, to compete against ‘the under €10 discounters’.
News UK publishes The Sun tabloid and The Times newspaper, and is said to have held talks with BT about a potential tie-up.
The new entity, comprising the country's second and third largest mobile operators, will have revenue of about $3 billion (€2.52 billion) pa.
The vendor also announced its private 5G network trial with Lufthansa Technik has progressed to permanent deployment.
The partnership plans to help operators gain the benefits of 5G vRAN – including up to 90% cost reduction – as mobile nets move to cloud.
The £1 bn programmme will also boost connectivity across London, from fixed broadband in homes to outdoor 5G coverage and emergency services.
