BROWSING: NSA 5G

As operators face a pressing need to monetize 5G services, Mavenir is focused on a converged charging system to bridge the gap between 4G, NSA 5G and SA 5G As operators navigate the numerous technological and business model evolutions needed to  deliver the full 5G feature...

Cloud-native 5G means advantage of scale The 5G Core standard defines a Service-Based Architecture (SBA) that is designed from the start for cloud-native 5G network deployment. This enables communication service providers to build and iterate network functions faster, with greater scalability and flexibility than before....

The end goal for 5G is a cloud-native, service-based, fully standalone (SA) network. That’s a major undertaking, which means most operators will spend several years with a mix of 4G, 5G non-standalone (NSA) and 5G SA infrastructure. This highly diverse environment makes it challenging...

Many CSPs are deploying 5G NSA with the aim of evolving to 5G SA as the technology matures. This calls for the transition from 5G NSA to 5G SA to be straightforward for the CSP and transparent to the end user. This paper describes ways...

A new white paper (pdf) from the Next Generation Mobile Networks Alliance urges the industry to more fully develop multiple paths for operators to move from NonStandalone to Standalone 5G network architectures, particularly options that allow operators to avoid extensive use of Dynamic Spectrum...
