5G

More than a radio technology, 5G is a network architecture revolution ushering the full convergence of mobile networks and Internet industries. You will understand the 5G ecosystem and technologies – hetnets, device-to-device, IoT, SDN and NFV (virtualization) and more – and about the challenge of integrating technologies that were separately developed, into a single network.

Course overview

The course reviews some of the key concepts that will shape the next generation of mobile systems – the 5G
5G standard, is not only about new radio technologies, but also network architecture revolutions providing a full convergence of mobile network and Internet industries. It is single end-to-end protocol standard for the future mobile Internet!
The course allows you to get understanding, the 5G Ecosystem and Technologies, in-depth. It reviews in details the 5G cutting-edge technologies and architecture like heterogeneous networks, device-to-device communications and others, as well as looks at 5G Internet of Things (IoT) solutions and virtualization methods like SDN and NFV.
The course also deals with the 5G major challenge of integrating technologies and concepts that were separately developed, into one network..
