Niger successfully communicates with two 5G base stations at 2MWH

What is a non-standard 5G base station?

In Non-Standalone 5G (NSA), the most common form is EN-DC (E-UTRAN–NR Dual Connectivity). Here, the 4G base station acts as the master node, connecting to the 4G core, while the 5G base station serves as the secondary node to provide extra data capacity.

What is Nr-DC 5G?

In Standalone 5G (SA), the option is NR-DC (New Radio Dual Connectivity), where two 5G base stations work together. One base station connects to the 5G core and handles control functions as the master node, while the second base station provides additional data as the secondary node. How Does Dual Connectivity Work?

What is a non-standalone 5G (NSA) setup?

In a Non-Standalone 5G (NSA) setup, the higher layer control plane remains anchored on the 4G base station, while the user plane data passes through the PDCP layer in the 5G base station. The PDCP layer divides the incoming data stream and forwards parts of it to the RLC layer of the 4G base station.

What is 5G Dual Connectivity?

Dual connectivity is a 5G feature that lets your phone connect to two cell towers at the same time. Dual connectivity makes 5G rollout smoother and easier.
