Ericsson and TDC NET said they have activated Denmark’s first 5G Standalone (5G SA) network, and this new 5G SA network promises lower latency, increased efficiency, and new possibilities for consumers and industries.

Transitioning from NSA to 5G SA

According to the statement, TDC NET first launched a non-standalone (NSA) 5G network in September 2020, working alongside Ericsson’s 4G infrastructure. Now, the shift to 5G SA is facilitated by Ericsson’s dual-mode 5G Core solution, enabling enhanced connectivity and greater network performance.
