Global 5G New Radio Non-Standalone Architecture Market:

5G or fifth generation is a technology standard for cellular networks. While 5G technology is still at the nascent stage in most parts of the world, it’s demand has been growing massively. 5G new radio (NR) technology refers to a new radio access technology (RAT), which is developed by the 3^rd generation partnership project (3GPP). The NR technology is capable of supporting frequency bands up to the range of 52.6 GHz. They allow the development of large system bandwidths, which are required to improve broadband data rates, which are beyond what long-term evolution (LTE) can offer. The non-standalone 5G new radio technology majorly focuses on enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB). The eMBB enables the 5G supported mobile devices to use mm-wave frequencies for better and enhanced data capacity, while for voice communication, they utilize the already existing 4^th generation technology infrastructure. The 5G new radio non-standalone technology focuses mainly on enhanced mobile broadband to provide reliable connectivity with higher data-bandwidth. 5G new radio non-standalone technology is being widely provided by service providers who aim to deliver high-speed connectivity to their customers. The providers find non-standalone modes more sensible as it enable them to leverage the existing network infrastructure and assets in comparison to standalone (SA) technology, which requires massive investments. These factors are facilitating the growth of 5G new radio non-standalone architecture markets across the globe.

Growing demand for the high-speed, reliable network, rise in mobile phone users and increasing investments are the major factors driving the market growth
