Mobile World Live & Trasna whitepaper: Grasping the 5G opportunity

Are your SIMs ready for 5G standalone? With over 2 billion 5G connections worldwide, 5G adoption is accelerating, but are operators truly equipped to unlock its full potential? While much of the focus has been on network rollouts, the role of SIM technology in enabling advanced 5G services and maximising revenues is often overlooked.
The shift from 5G Non-Standalone (NSA) to 5G Standalone (SA) is more than just an infrastructure upgrade—it requires the right SIM technology to support new use cases, from enterprise network slicing to massive IoT deployments. But what are the key considerations for operators?
- How do different SIM technologies (removable SIM, eSIM, iSIM) impact performance, security, cost, and scalability?
- What role do SIMs play in ensuring authentication, security, and device provisioning for private networks and critical applications?
- With evolving standards and new capabilities like network slicing and RedCap IoT, what SIM solution will best support operators’ long-term strategies?
In collaboration with Mobile World Live, Trasna explores these questions in a new educational whitepaper, Grasping the 5G SA Opportunity. This resource provides a deep dive into the evolving role of SIM technology in 5G SA deployments, helping operators navigate the complexities of subscriber identity management in next-generation networks.
