Dual Mode 5G Network

5G is the 5th generation of networking technology. It is mainly based on lower latency, & faster speeds. It consists of two varients which are NSA (Non-Standalone) and SA (Standalone) networks. These both networks have different roles and functionality. Based on that we will further get to know about these Dual Mode 5G Network.

5G NSA – This technology is based upon the existing 4G infrastructure. In simpler terms, whenever the network is strong and sufficient enough it will show 5G and provide 300 Mbps – 1 Gbps speeds, if network is not strong enough or signals are waving a lot, in that case the mobile phone uses 4G network. This 4G speeds can go upto 300  Mbps depending upon the strenght of signal, number of persons nearby and other factors, which may include network quality or proper fiberization.

5G SA – This network technology doesn’t requires 4G at all. It is self sufficient, it doesn’t need 4G at all for its working. For calling it has its own VoNR (Voice over New Radio), therefore is not dependent at 4G at all. The speeds of 5G SA usually comes around 500 Mbps to 700 Mbps at average, the more presence of 5G SA towers the more speed users get. The range of 5G SA is low compared to 4G due to the signal penitration issue, and its technology.

Dual Mode 5G Network

The dual mode 5G network consists of 5G NSA and 5G SA at the same time. Enabling this makes an advantage to get higher speeds of 1 Gbps+, moreover a better coverage and connectivity. Whenever the 5G SA tower loses its signal, or its signal becomes weak in phone, the mobile phone will try and automatically switch to 5G NSA. This will mentain the 5G connectivity, therefore making it useful for the enduser to stay connected to a reliable 5G network.
