Nokia claims that it has signed 42 commercial 5G deals with operators around the world, 22 with named customers such as T-Mobile, Telia Company and Softbank.
Including these agreements, Nokia's 5G deals, trials and demos total over 100 5G customer engagements to date.
Since the announcement of the 30th commercial 5G contract at the end of March the company has seen an average of one major contract win each week - with a steady pipeline in place for further agreements.
Early rollouts of 5G have been well publicized in North America, Korea and Europe and Nokia said it is looking forward to announcing its work with operators in emerging nations and regions such as India and Latin America over the coming months.

The pace of 5G progress is accelerating across the globe. We are delivering significant performance increases to operators and the power of Nokia's end-to-end portfolio is being recognized. In fact, in pretty much every network where Nokia products are deployed, we are the performance leader.
