Telecompetitor, Thursday, February 22nd, 2024
Deployments of 5G standalone networks were relatively uncommon in 2023, but are expected to increase this year, according to a forecast from test and assurance equipment provider Spirent. Standalone 5G (SA) networks are not underpinned by previous-generation technology but instead are purpose-built to support 5G service.
As a test equipment provider, Spirent gets an early take on new technology adoption as provider test those technologies. The company's 5G report is based on analysis of more than 500 new 5G engagements by the company this year.
