The Spirent 2024 5G Report

An untapped world of 5G Standalone-powered innovation and opportunity awaits. It’s been a long time coming. During 2023, 5G Standalone saw sluggish commercial deployments, largely due to delays in overcoming the formidable technical challenges of deploying and integrating new, cloud-native 5G core technologies and ongoing macroeconomic uncertainties.

It won’t just deliver more performance, but value that enterprises and consumers will pay for. New capabilities that transform industries. Viable use cases that change lives.
