In this episode, I'm joined by Roberto Kompany [https://www.linkedin.com/in/robertokompany/?originalSubdomain=uk]—Telco Drift's  very first guest—to explore the transformative role of the 5G Standalone  (SA) core. We dive into how this technology enables telcos to evolve  beyond legacy models and tap into new use cases and market  opportunities. The conversation unpacks why the journey to 5G-SA has  been so long and winding, what lies ahead for the industry, why the core  network is so critical, and how telcos can maximize its potential.
