5G Standalone makes a break from 5G non-standalone by integrating the evolved packet core or the signaling brain of the 5G network, which controls the network's devices. It prepares the groundwork for new services unique to this generation of networks, such as network slicing to customize enterprise services across multiple networks.
5G networks require networking, security and compute to work as an integrated solution with tight tolerances – not disaggregated technology stacks and teams. Without built-to-purpose technology, traditional security methods will likely create latency and bottlenecks that undermine the value of these new 5G networks.
