The Chief Security and Networks Officer of BT<\/a>, Howard Watson, has hinted that EE<\/a> may be in a position to begin their commercial deployment of 5G<\/a> standalone (5G<\/a> SA) mobile network technology during the second half of 2024. But they won’t have a better idea of the likely timing until this summer.<\/p>\n

Most existing 5G<\/a> networks are Non-Standalone (NSA), which means they’re partly reliant upon some older and slower 4G<\/a> infrastructure. But SA networks are pure end-to-end 5G that can deliver improvements such as ultra-low latency times, greater energy efficiency, better upload speeds, network slicing, improved support for Internet of Things (IoT) devices, support for Voice over New Radio (VoNR or Vo5G) and increased reliability and security etc.<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> Network slicing allows for multiple virtual network slices across the same physical network. Each slice is isolated from other network traffic to give dedicated performance, with the features of the slice tailored to the use case requirements (online gaming, enhanced mobile broadband etc.).<\/div>\n

Vodafone<\/a> officially became the first UK mobile operator to launch a commercial 5G SA network in a handful of cities during June 2023 (here<\/a>), which was followed in February 2024 by O2<\/a> (VMO2) across 14 cities (here<\/a>). The latter was particularly notable because the service came at no extra cost to existing customers, although in both cases 5G SA coverage is currently understood to be very patchy (i.e. you’re more likely to spot it in busy areas).<\/p>\n

Similarly, BT<\/a> via EE<\/a> has been busy conducting lots of related 5G SA trials, although they’ve yet to formally announce the start of a commercial rollout. But a recent report on Telco Titans<\/a>, via a Mobile World Live correspondent, has quoted Howard Watson as saying that a realistic timeline is sometime “later in this year<\/em>” (H2).<\/p>\n

Howard Watson said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“We are ready. We\u2019ve looked long and hard at 5G standalone. Yes, we can do pilots, yes, we can do trials, but we think actually we should wait a little bit longer to get the right device ecosystem and get some great services with slicing.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The reality is that EE<\/a>, like other mobile operators, typically start conducting their rollouts before they formally announce them (i.e. it’s a fair bet that a lot of the groundwork for this is already underway) and the operator often likes to achieve a good level of coverage BEFORE reaching that stage, unlike some of their rivals.<\/p>\n

However, it will be interesting to see what approach EE takes when it does announce the launch, such as whether they’ll try to sell it as a premium package like Vodafone<\/a>, or take the “at no extra cost<\/em>” route, like O2<\/a>. The mention of network slicing above may give us a hint, since they might aim to launch it alongside prioritised plans for mobile gaming, home broadband or business connectivity etc.<\/p>\n

Ensuring the widest possible device support is also important, and Watson is clearly being mindful of that above too. For example, both O2<\/a> and Vodafone<\/a> launched 5G SA without any support for modern iPhones, but there was no such issue with Samsung’s handsets.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
