One hears a lot these days about 5G standalone solution (5G NR) and 5G “non-standalone.” The difference is deployment strategy. 5G non-standalone can be deployed faster as it uses the 4G signaling (command and control) network, with new 5G radios (air interface).
Some will chide carriers for launching “fake 5GF.” It is not fake; it is a hybrid strategy that reuses existing 4G core networks to support 5G air interfaces.
Under other circumstances, objective observers would simply say that makes good business sense, allowing faster rollouts of the new platform by reusing installed infrastructure, at lower cost.
