Vodafone, Austria-based A1 and Ericsson have reached a new 5G standalone (SA) milestone that shines a light on the technical complexity of taking this technology across borders.
They claim to have established the first 5G SA international roaming connection between two different operator groups, in this case Vodafone Germany and A1 Bulgaria. They demonstrated seamless data connectivity and voice roaming using a standard device and generally available core network software supporting the latest 3GPP standards.
They claim the achievement paves the way for 5G SA's much-vaunted high-speed, low latency connectivity to be offered to travellers and multinational enterprises.
