Orange Wholesale’s new 5G Standalone signaling offer delivers the benefits of the most advanced mobile network technology to all eligible operators worldwide.
After successful proofs of concept with global carriers, Orange Wholesale has released its own 5G standalone signaling offer.
This solution allows our customers and partners to provide seamless connectivity to their users while roaming through global destinations supporting this technology. Users will therefore be able to enjoy the full benefits of 5G on the go, including network slicing for lower latency in high-density environments, making it ideal for roaming-to-IoT use cases. Contrary to 5G NSA, 5G SA requires a 5G Core Network and is not limited in performance by its reliance on legacy 4G infrastructure and LTE SS7 signaling. At the end of 2024, 5G SA had been fully embraced by 60 operators worldwide, including Orange France and Orange Belgium, with other Orange affiliates due to launch it in 2025.
“With this signaling offer, Orange Wholesale vows to make the benefits of 5G SA available to all operators worldwide, even those which may not have the advanced technical resources needed to operate this service” Anass Sadoun, 5G Product Manager at Orange Wholesale International commented. “We can manage all the complexity of 5G SA roaming connectivity for them. We also bring such added value services as IPX provisioning, IPX bandwidth monitoring on our new NaaS platform Orange Wholesale Click as well as actual production environment testing through our exclusive ROC (Roaming Operations Center)”.
Additionally, to better serve MNO or MVNO customers who have yet to transition to 5G SA, Orange Wholesale now offers an exclusive 5G Core Network as a Service (5G CnaaS) solution.
