T-Mobile customers could soon experience much better 5G even outside the US
It could make global roaming on 5G networks faster and more reliable.
T-Mobile and Indian carrier Jio have achieved a groundbreaking milestone by establishing the world's first 5G standalone roaming connection. This achievement could pave the way for seamless transitions between the two networks when travelers roam across borders. The potential implications extend beyond mere convenience, as 5G standalone roaming could also pave the way for enhanced enterprise applications and AI technologies.
T-Mobile has been a trailblazer in the rollout of standalone 5G networks, consistently refining its speed and coverage. In fact, reports suggest that T-Mobile ranks among the top US carriers in terms of 5G performance. While the company has faced criticism for certain decisions regarding its legacy plans, the Un-carrier is now celebrating another significant accomplishment.
The partnership between T-Mobile and Jio marks a pivotal moment in the evolution of 5G technology. 5G standalone (SA) networks employ a dedicated 5G architecture from end to end, delivering faster speeds and lower latency compared to 5G non-standalone (NSA) networks, which rely on existing 4G core infrastructure.
