Intended Audience
This course is intended for solution architects, planning, engineering, operations, and systems performance teams.
Objectives
After completing this course, the learner will be able to:
■ List the drivers for deploying Non-Public Networks (NPN) a.k.a. Private Networks
■ List and describe private network enablers like spectrum, 5GC, Network Slicing
■ Sketch the network architecture for SNPN and PNI-NPN
■ Step through the life of a device using private networks
■ List deployment scenarios for private networks
