Introduction to 5G
5G_501d | On-Demand | Custom | 2
Course Duration: 1 day
5G promises to enable a wide variety of new wireless communications services and capabilities, ranging from high-speed high-capacity broadband access to extremely reliable low-latency communications to machine-type communications on a massive scale. In order to deliver on these promises, everything about the wireless network must change, including the devices, the radio interface, the radio access network (RAN), and the core network. This course provides an overview of the usage scenarios envisioned by the wireless industry and highlights the changes and enhancements being defined in the 3GPP standards.
Intended Audience
Technical audience looking for a technical overview of 5G services, 5G Networks, and underlying technologies.
