As of July 2022, more 5G core launches had been recorded than in the entirety of 2021, at 49 and 47 launches, respectively. The type of 5G cores currently deployed remains dominated with about 75 percent of non-standalone (NSA) cores, or cores using the preexisting 4G network infrastructure. However, standalone (SA) cores, which require more up-front costs and development yet may provide faster and more scalable connection, are forecast to outstrip NSAs and consist of 24 of the 49 5G core launches in 2022. All but one of the 5G launches announced for 2023 are standalone.
