THE Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) supports the plans of Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) to deploy 5G networks that ride on existing 4G infrastructure, otherwise known as 5G non-standalone (NSA) networks.
This move will allow trials for consumers to enjoy partial 5G experiences in the near-term, ahead of the nationwide rollout of 5G standalone (SA) networks by 2025. The key benefit will be faster mobile speeds, IMDA said in a press release issued on Monday.
