What is the 5G SA model?
Everyone understands several advantages of 5G over 4G networks. The deployment architecture of China's 5G network is divided into two categories: NSA (non-standalone) and SA (standalone).
5G-NSA, that is, carrying a device on the original 4G network base station, can provide similar network speed as 5G, in the early stage of 5G construction, operators in order to speed up the construction of the network, increase the use and experience of users, this kind of network can only achieve high bandwidth, in fact, it is not a real sense of 5G network.
5G SA (Standalone) mode, also known as standalone mode, is a type of 5G networking. In this mode, the mobile phone is only connected to the 5G base station and the 5G core network, which can better play the advantages of 5G, such as faster network speed, lower latency, and more stable signal. If your 5G phone does not have SA mode turned on, the network speed may be unstable and the signal is poor.
