TPR1043x | Expert-Led Live | 5G Core | 3
Course Duration: 4 hours
5G is generating a lot of discussion as the successor to 4G LTE. This primer looks carefully at 5G and provides a well-reasoned view of the technology and its potential. It brings a practical clarity to the question 'What is 5G?', defining 5G and covering important 5G terms and concepts. It helps participants explain why not all 5G is created equal, and explores the inherent flexibility built into the 5G specification. It also provides a perspective on the applications and monetization potential for this new technology.
Intended Audience
Those in business roles who need to speak accurately and confidently about 5G and its applications.
