5G Standalone (5G SA) is a network architecture that utilizes a dedicated 5G core network, separate from the existing 4G LTE infrastructure. Unlike 5G Non-Standalone (NSA), which relies on 4G LTE for certain network functions, 5G SA operates independently and provides a complete 5G experience. This setup supports all the advanced features of 5G, including … Read more
5G availability in the Netherlands is expanding but is not yet ubiquitous. Major cities and urban areas have seen significant rollouts, and many mobile operators are actively working to enhance their 5G networks across the country. However, 5G coverage may still be limited in rural or less densely populated regions. The availability of 5G can … Read more
Tracking Area Identity (TAI) in 5G is a unique identifier used to denote a specific tracking area within the network. It helps the mobile network in managing and routing signaling messages to and from a user’s device. The TAI is used to facilitate efficient location tracking, handovers, and mobility management by defining a region where … Read more
SRVCC (Single Radio Voice Call Continuity) is a feature in telecommunications that allows a voice call to be maintained seamlessly when a user moves between different network types, such as from LTE (Long-Term Evolution) to 2G or 3G networks. SRVCC ensures that ongoing voice calls do not drop when the user transitions between network technologies, … Read more
5G is already available in numerous locations around the world, with significant deployments in major cities and metropolitan areas. Countries such as the United States, South Korea, China, and many in Europe, including the Netherlands, have been actively rolling out 5G networks. In these regions, 5G coverage typically includes major urban centers and surrounding areas, … Read more
TAC, or Tracking Area Code, in 5G is a unique identifier used to denote a specific tracking area within the network. The TAC is a numerical code that helps manage and route signaling messages related to user devices’ location and mobility. It plays a critical role in network operations by enabling efficient tracking of devices … Read more
SRVCC (Single Radio Voice Call Continuity) in 5G refers to the ability to maintain an ongoing voice call as a user moves between 5G and legacy networks like 4G LTE, 3G, or 2G. While 5G primarily supports data services and not native voice calls, SRVCC ensures that voice calls initiated on a 5G network can … Read more
A TAC code in 5G, or Tracking Area Code, is a numerical identifier assigned to a specific tracking area within the network. It is used to identify and manage a geographical area where mobile devices are located. The TAC helps in routing signaling messages and managing device mobility by providing the network with information about … Read more
MCC 234 and MNC 15 are identifiers used in mobile networks to specify the country and network operator. MCC (Mobile Country Code) 234 corresponds to the United Kingdom, and MNC (Mobile Network Code) 15 identifies a specific mobile network operator within that country. Together, these codes are used to uniquely identify the network and facilitate … Read more
RSRQ (Reference Signal Received Quality) in 5G is a measure of the quality of the received signal, calculated as the ratio of the Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP) to the total received power, including interference and noise. It helps evaluate the efficiency of the network in delivering a strong and clear signal to the user … Read more
