A new study from Juniper Research has found that the number of international 5G roaming subscribers will reach 147 million by 2025; increasing from 4.3 million in 2021.
This represents a growth of 3,300% over the next four years. It predicts that standalone 5G architectures, which leverage innovative core network technologies and high levels of virtualisation, will be instrumental in allowing operators to create appealing 5G roaming packages for this growing number of subscribers. It predicts that the higher degree of software-defined network applications in standalone 5G networks will create greater efficiencies in routing of voice and data roaming traffic, thus reducing operators’ investment needed to offer 5G roaming services.
