5G Network for Leadership
TPR1055x | Expert-Led Live | 5G Core | 3
Course Duration: 4 hours
Telecom service providers are deploying 5G Non-Standalone (NSA) and Standalone (SA) networks using various frequency spectrum to enable emerging use cases for higher throughput, lower latency, and massive capacity. This leadership session is part of a multi-part series that helps network leaders explore use of low, mid, and mmW spectrum for 5G, features of 5G RAN and core network and emerging trends of telco cloud, MEC, and network slicing. This enables leaders guide their teams for effective network planning, design, engineering, deployment, and monitoring.
Intended Audience
This training is intended for leaders of network planning, engineering, and operations.
Objectives
After completing this course, the learner will be able to:
■ Identify 5G SA and NSA network components and their connectivity
