FAQ's

How is 5G SA deployed?

Following 3GPP TS 21.915 specification the “Stand-Alone” (SA) architecture defines the connection of NR to the 5G CN. Only in this configuration, the full set of 5G Phase 1 services are supported. For new enterprise 5G services such as smart cities, smart factories, or other vertical market solutions, a standalone architecture (SA) could make more sense. In this scenario, which 3GPP has now standardized in 3GPP Rel16 and Rel17, MNOs can build an entirely new fully virtualized 5G network that includes new radio access network, new transport network, and new 5G mobile core and edge networks – standing alone and separate from their existing 4G and legacy networks. With 5G SA, the distinct advantage here is end-to-end support for high 5G speeds and better deployed services. And the true promise of 5G is enterprise-driven revenue – it changes the business model from consumer-driven to enterprise-focused opening up entirely new use cases and revenue streams.

What is Cloud Native Architecture in 5G SA deployment?

5G standalone architecture is a fully virtualized, cloud-native architecture (CNA) that introduces new ways to develop, deploy, and manage services. CNA includes concepts of microservices and service-based interfaces that greatly simplify services, dramatically reducing the cost of operation and speeding up the introduction of new revenue-generating services.

What are the benefits of 5G SA full virtualized deployments?

in 5G SA MNOs can launch new enterprise 5G services such as smart cities, and smart factories. The network infrastructure is considered to be fully virtualized, cloud-native architecture (CNA), which introduces new ways to develop, deploy and manage services with enabled end to end slicing to logically separate services. Using standardizing on a cloud-native approach, MNOs can also rely on best of breed innovation from both vendors and the open-source communities. Finally the selection and development of cloud-native microservice-based architecture, MNOs can also decide on a variety of deployment models such as on-premise private cloud, public cloud, or hybrid to meet their business objectives
