Canadian operator Rogers Communications announced that it is starting to roll out what it claims to be the country’s first 5G Standalone core network.
The new network, with solutions from Swedish vendor Ericsson, will be initially rolled out in Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto and Vancouver.
“Considered the brain of the network, our 5G Standalone core propels us forward on our path to bring the full potential of 5G to Canadians,” said Jorge Fernandes, CTO at Rogers. “From ultra-low latency to advanced services like network slicing, standalone 5G will support applications and technologies that will have a profound impact on our economy and society.”
