What is 5G?
The fifth-generation cellular network brings a higher capacity, promising a faster mobile future.
Faster and more reliable, 5G opens up new possibilities for where and how you stay connected.
Surfing and download speed
Peak speeds of up to 10 Gbps and a greater network capacity – even in a crowded room or areas with less-than-ideal coverage.
Response time
Down to a just a few milliseconds, 5G’s virtually delay-free communication enhances your user experience tenfold.
Capacity
With 5G, more devices will be able to transfer large amounts of data and connect to a single cell site at the same time.
What does 5G mean for me?
5G will open a highway to new experiences that will change how we live, work and play.
The most noticeable change coming with 5G will be the speed—for example, downloads will be faster and video streams will start instantly. Businesses will be able to increase efficiency, empower workers and drive innovation in all industries.
Unmatched connectivity powered by 5G Standalone technology.
Next-generation 5G Standalone (SA) technology marks a significant advancement in wireless communication, pushing the boundaries for ultra-low latency and robust security features.The adoption of 5G Standalone technology brings a multitude of benefits to consumers and enterprises alike. With faster download speeds, smoother media streaming, real-time responsiveness for gaming and overall improved network performance, du's 5G Standalone revolutionises the way users experience wireless connectivity.
Enterprises can now leverage network-slicing technology to customise network applications according to their specific needs. Additionally, the enhanced fixed wireless access (FWA) connectivity offers significant benefits, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).5G Standalone (SA) technology is currently available on the Samsung Galaxy S23 and Samsung Galaxy S24 devices. We are also working on adding it to more devices soon.
