What is the Difference Between 5G SA versus 5G NSA
5G is the fifth generation of mobile broadband that will eventually replace, or at least augment your 4G LTE connection. With 5G, you’ll see exponentially faster download and upload speeds. This will drastically reduce the latency, or the time it takes devices to communicate with wireless networks.
What is Dual Mode 5G
NSA (Non-Standalone Access) and SA (Standalone Access) are the two 5G network modes.
In SA mode, both the 5G RAN and the 5G core network are deployed, enabling the full capabilities of 5G technology. SA mode allows for advanced features like network slicing, which enables the creation of virtual networks tailored to specific use cases.
On the other hand, non-standalone (NSA) mode is a technology that allows 5G networks to be deployed using existing 4G infrastructure. This technology allows carriers to provide 5G coverage in areas where they don't yet have the necessary equipment in place to build out a fully-fledged 5G network
What are the advantages of 5G NSA and SA networks
NSA mode offers a quicker and more cost-effective way to introduce 5G. Whereas, SA mode is considered the long-term solution. SA mode provides a foundation for future innovations and use cases, ensuring that the network is ready to support emerging technologies and applications.
When a mobile device supports both of these networks, it is called a Dual Mode 5 G-supported device.
