According to T-Mobile, 5G SA is “the future of wireless” and will deliver faster data speeds and lower latency (or, as T-Mobile writes, “faster response times”). So what is 5G SA? It’s standalone 5G. The simple answer is that 5G SA is a network that uses a 5G core and it takes more money and time to build than a 5G NSA or non-standalone network.

Neville Ray, T-Mobile’s President of Technology says, “We are working with industry leaders around the globe to move the 5G ecosystem forward for the benefit of wireless customers everywhere. With the most advanced 5G network in the world, T-Mobile is at the forefront of wireless innovation, spearheading new capabilities so we can continue raising the performance bar and enable future transformative applications that require a seamless and robust 5G connection.
Earlier this month, T-Mobile announced that Ray would be leaving the company by the Fall. He will be replaced by Executive Vice President and Chief Network Officer Ulf Ewaldsson. Ray has been with T-Mobile for 23 years and helped the carrier with its amazing turnaround that saw it go from last place among the four major U.S. wireless providers to its current status as the second largest wireless firm in the states. The company is also the fastest growing and most innovative among the major U.S. carriers.
