T-Mobile and Jio have achieved the world's first 5G Standalone roaming connection, enabled through interoperability with Syniverse. The milestone lets T-Mobile customers experience true 5G SA roaming while traveling internationally, a first anywhere in the world, delivering faster speeds, lower latency and more reliable connections. Syniverse's connectivity platform provided the secure, seamless interconnection between networks that made the cross-border link possible. Ankur Kapoor, Chief Network Officer at T-Mobile, said the company began laying the groundwork for a 5G Standalone future in 2020 and is now continuing that leadership with Jio India as a partner on a global stage. Mark Yarkosky, Head International Network, Partnership and Services at Jio, called the achievement transformational and said the two carriers are laying the foundation for a new generation of cross-network capabilities, from differentiated consumer and enterprise experiences to AI-enabled services. John Wick, Chief Product Officer of Syniverse, said the company's home-grown SEPP capabilities and proven platform help operators test, navigate and launch 5G SA roaming with confidence.
