7 key benefits of standalone 5G core architecture

5G Standalone (SA) equips service providers to leverage the true potential of 5G. It enables key use cases like eMBB, AR/VR, massive IoT, and more. Deploying 5G SA architecture using the 5G core (5GC) enables a host of benefits for operators: - Rapid implementation: slashes months from the deployment time as it eliminates the need for hardware delivery and setup. - Support for advanced services: enables high-value 3GPP-defined use cases like V2X, I-IoT, and more. - Scalability: without the physical limitations of legacy cores, Kubernetes platforms can auto-scale to meet dynamic network demands. - Robust infrastructure: provides stateless NFs and unified programmable orchestration to enable swift service innovation. - Facilitates ultralow latency: enables low-latency applications like private enterprise networks for various industries. - Support for multiple services: helps all authorized NFs discover and interact with each other to provide services. - Advanced data handling: includes structured and unstructured data.
