NTT DOCOMO, INC. and NEC Corporation have launched Japan’s first commercial 5G core network (5GC) on Amazon Web Services (AWS), marking a major step in hybrid cloud-based telecom infrastructure.

The 5GC, commercially launched on February 26, 2026, combines DOCOMO’s proprietary virtualization platform with AWS to create a hybrid cloud architecture. The system enables dynamic capacity scaling during traffic surges and is designed to enhance reliability, flexibility, and sustainability. Operational testing showed power consumption reductions of around 70% using AWS Graviton processors.

In a separate world-first milestone, DOCOMO and its group companies automated the entire 5GC design and construction process using Agentic AI integrated with GitOps on AWS. By leveraging Amazon Bedrock AgentCore and infrastructure-as-code methodologies, the companies reduced network construction time by approximately 80% compared to conventional approaches.

The initiative is being showcased at Mobile World Congress 2026 in Barcelona, highlighting AI-driven automation and cloud-native architecture as the next phase of telecom network evolution.

The solution replaces fragmented, manual ticketing processes with standardized, autonomous coordination between carriers, improving visibility and reducing service disruptions for travelers.
