Why 5G standalone core needs to be on every operator’s roadmap

5G’s is set to transform virtually every industry, including manufacturing, healthcare, the Internet of Things (IoT), AR/VR, gaming, and countless others. The first step to enabling this transformation is for operators to close how they implement 5G. They have two options: 5G NSA (non-standalone) and 5G SA (standalone). 5G NSA (4G LTE EPC plus new RAN) is a great immediate strategy to quickly launch high-speed 5G broadband. 5G SA, however, will help implement the most advanced and revolutionary next-gen use cases. A 5G SA solution lets service providers implement key technological changes to the core network, such as cloud-native and microservice-based architecture. It helps achieve operational excellence and maximize ROI. Operators can rapidly introduce new and differentiated services with high QoS – without disturbing existing services. They can scale the network to support dynamically changing traffic demands and subscriber growth. 5G SA also helps automate functions such as network slicing.
