The trials mentioned above are a huge milestone in the 5G roadmap, as the tests conducted so far were on NSA (non-standalone) networks. NSA networks rely on existing 4G infrastructure to bolster 5G connectivity while SA networks rely exclusively on newer 5G-ready hardware. The former is crucial in locations with existing 4G towers, while the latter will come in handy in new, unexplored regions where network connectivity is non-existent. Tasleem Arif, VP, and R&D Head OPPO India had the following to say
As a 5G pioneer, OPPO India is working relentlessly to accelerate 5G deployment and its accessibility for all. Our 5G standalone network trial for Reno6 Series with Jio is part of our in-depth research in the 5G era towards ensuring a better experience for the users. The successful validation of Reno6 Series devices on the 5G SA network of Jio is testimony to our commitment as a company to bring cutting-edge technology to our customers.
An OPPO phone was the first to successfully complete a WhatsApp video call over a 5G network. The company has also established a 5G Innovation Lab at its Hyderabad R&D centre and is responsible for several 5G-related patents globally.
