StarHub and Malaysian telco U Mobile successfully completed a multi-party, roaming video conference call using 5G SA (standalone) technology, according to their joint statement released today.

If you’re wondering why a cross-border video call is such a big deal, that’s because the call was made on 5G networks that do not rely on 4G infrastructure (hence the ‘standalone’ nomenclature).

That, and it was among four users at the same time, and it was ‘lag-free’ and ‘super-clear’ according to the trial participants.

The test was conducted with two StarHub and two U Mobile SIM cards via popular messaging apps on 5G-ready smartphones.

The StarHub SIM cards were in Malaysia, while the U Mobile ones were in Singapore (hence the roaming aspect from both ends).
