FAQ's

What are the benefits of 5G NSA?

5G NSA is a necessary step in the global transition to 5G, helping network operators maximize their existing LTE infrastructure while providing enterprise and users with faster and more reliable communications than ever before. In a nutshell 5G NSA delivers high-speed connectivity to consumers with 5G-enabled devices and leverages existing network investments in transport and mobile core

Why 5G NSA is important for Mobile Network Operators (MNOs)?

Most of existing MNOs are urgently looking to deliver mainly high-speed connectivity to consumers with 5G-enabled devices. Non-standalone architecture (NSA) makes the most sense, because it enables them to leverage their existing network investments in transport and mobile core, rather than deploy a completely new end to end 5G network.

How 5G NSA helps MNOs to reduce network operating costs?

This can be combined with efforts to reduce network operating costs by adopting virtualization and CUPS (Control and User plane separation) using software-defined networking (SDN). These initial steps toward 5G, enable MNOs to begin offering 5G services providing faster data speeds and capture additional revenue streams.
