Orange Spain activates its 5G Standalone Network

5G standalone is beginning to be commercially available in Spain.

Orange said that 5G SA technology will be initially offered in Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia and Seville

Orange noted that the coverage of 5G SA in these initial cities will exceed 90%, adding that new cities will be covered by this technology during 2023, and that the improvements will not entail any additional cost for customers.

“With the deployment of its 5G SA network, Orange becomes the first operator in Spain, the first of the Orange Group and one of the first in Europe to commercially launch 5G SA technology,” Orange said.

The teleco explained that the new technology allows better 5G coverage indoors, thanks to the use of native 5G bands; low latency, which will benefit services for which this requirement may be very relevant such as online gaming and live video streaming as well as a greater number of connected devices and greater security.
