T-Mobile US and Deutsche Telekom Global Carrier have completed successful testing of 5G Standalone (5G SA) roaming, leveraging Deutsche Telekom Global Carrier’s Security Edge Protection Proxy (SEPP) to complete the world’s first hosted SEPP 5G SA roaming T-Mobile US and Sunrise and a direct SEPP to SEPP interconnect with AIS Thailand.
- 5G SA roaming networks promise faster speeds, lower latency, and higher capacity compared to Non-Standalone (NSA) networks. SA roaming translates to a superior customer experience for subscribers, no matter the application, while roaming.
- With 5G SA roaming, operators can expand their reach and offer seamless high-speed connectivity to their subscribers in foreign countries. This is particularly important for travelers and businesses with international operations.
“5G SA roaming changes the very meaning of staying connected while abroad,” said Ulf Ewaldsson, President of Technology at T-Mobile US. “Our customers already enjoy incredible roaming benefits in more than 215 countries and destinations, and 5G SA roaming opens the door for even faster speeds and increased reliability, enables emerging technologies like network slicing and will ensure the experience our customers have at home on our network travels with them practically anywhere.”
