British telco giant BT expects to launch 5G stand-alone — or 'true' 5G — later this year

Summary
BT plans to launch its first stand-alone 5G network in 2024, with trials already conducted with Ericsson and Qualcomm. The network slicing technology will allow for different network configurations to meet specific needs, such as low latency for gamers. BT is waiting for Apple's new iPhone to support stand-alone 5G in Europe before launching. Stand-alone 5G is seen as a way for network operators to make more money from their 5G investments, but consumer understanding and adoption of 5G remains a challenge.
