deltaphase

Delta phase refers to a specific period in the development of certain telecommunications technologies, particularly in the evolution of mobile phone standards. It is often used to describe the transitional phase between major generations of wireless technology, such as the shift from 3G to 4G or 4G to 5G. During a delta phase, networks may simultaneously support both the older and newer standards, allowing for a gradual migration of users and devices. This coexistence is crucial for maintaining service continuity and enabling operators to upgrade their infrastructure without disrupting existing customer experiences. Testing and optimization are key activities during this period as new technologies are integrated and refined. The term "delta" signifies the change or difference between the established standard and the emerging one.
