Does 5G Standalone stand up – is the support role of digital twins key?
As the shift to 5G SA gathers momentum, monetisation opportunities are emerging:
- Europe has the most 5G fixed wireless access (FWA) deployments, according to the GSA
- the first commercial network slicing services started in 2023 in Europe and gained more traction in 2025 to make the continent the most advanced market (Ericsson Mobility Report, November 2025)
- premium API sales – Juniper Research predicts that operators’ revenues from authentication and fraud prevention network APIs will rise from $252 million (€220.5 million) in 2025 to $4.9 billion by 2030.
Join us at this Briefing to explore the drivers behind 5G SA, the role digital twins, and how operators can extract efficiencies and value.
