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. The degree of innovation introduced with 5G is driving the adoption of Private and Enterprise network integration. Integrating 5G in the Enterprise network is becoming a strategic requirement as companies look to support new use cases and provide new services with improved business outcomes and customer experience.
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 is for both technical and non-technical students, offering a high-level end-to-end overview of 5G networks.
This course will outline the new technologies introduced with 5G, including the devices, the radio interface, the radio access network (RAN), and the core network. This course focuses on the principles of the 5G core network, its connectivity to the radio network, and interworking with the 4G EPC. We will explore the business drivers, use-cases, and leading practices for Enterprise 5G adoption and explore options for Private 5G networking, as well as topics such as Service-Based Architecture (SBA), PDU Session Establishment, Network Slicing and Multi-Access Edge Computing (MEC), Private 5G Security, and WI-FI 6 as they relate to 5G and 5G Operations.
Upon completing this course, the learner will be able to meet these overall objectives:
