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.

NTT DOCOMO Completes World’s First Outdoor Trial of AI-Driven 6G Wireless Technology

NTT DOCOMO has successfully carried out the world’s first outdoor field trial using real-time transceiver systems equipped with AI-powered wireless interface technology for future 6G networks. Conducted with NTT, Nokia Bell Labs, and SK Telecom, the tests confirmed that AI-enhanced transmission and reception can boost throughput by up to 100% under real outdoor conditions.

The AI-AI wireless interface applies artificial intelligence to both the transmitter and receiver, dynamically optimizing modulation and demodulation based on changing radio conditions. The technology, previously verified indoors, was tested outdoors across three environments in Yokosuka City, including curved roads, areas with partial obstacles, and roads allowing speeds up to 60 km/h.

Across all scenarios, AI integration improved stability and transmission speed. In the most challenging environment—public roads with curves and obstructions—average throughput rose 18%, with peak improvements reaching 100% compared to conventional methods. Additional trials at NTT’s Yokosuka R&D Center showed gains of up to 20% at various speeds, including 60 km/h, under both line-of-sight and non-line-of-sight conditions.

DOCOMO says the results demonstrate the technology’s robustness in real-world environments, marking a major advance toward practical 6G systems that offer higher transmission efficiency and lower power consumption. The company plans to continue testing under more complex conditions, including speeds exceeding 100 km/h, while working with global partners on 6G standardization and deployment.

The AI-driven 6G technology will be showcased at the NTT R&D Forum 2025.
