Japanese tech company NEC said it has provided packet core and base stations for the 5G Standalone (SA) services that compatriot operator NTT Docomo launched commercially earlier this month.
NEC noted that its 5G core for Standalone architecture helps create customized networks on demand according to the different requirements for 5G services that include eMBB (enhanced Mobile Broadband), mMTC (massive Machine Type Communication), and URLLC (Ultra-Reliable and Low Latency Communications).
Moreover, NEC’s 5G base stations which had been previously operating as non- standalone (NSA) on Docomo’s commercial network, have been migrated to 5G SA via a software upgrade, the vendor said.
