Reliance Jio and T-Mobile have announced the achievement of what the companies describe as the world’s first 5G Standalone (SA) roaming connection. The milestone, realised by the Indian telecom service provider and the US-based wireless network operator, is said to mark a significant step towards interoperable 5G networks across countries. It allows T-Mobile customers travelling internationally to access 5G SA roaming through Jio’s network in India. The technology is claimed to deliver faster speeds, lower latency, and more reliable connectivity compared with earlier roaming setups.
