Course Overview:
The current Telco architecture transforms comprising vertically integrated discrete network elements, to being cognitive, cloud-optimized and seamless in operation. Such next-generation networks will not be server-centric, but instead focus on data and content requirements. Data and the applications that use this will be decoupled.
The new network architecture will support easy scalability, with security and privacy built-in, enable energy efficient operation, offer the lowest Operational Expenses (OPEX), and flexibly support an extremely wide range of uses.
The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) has classified 5G mobile network services into three categories: Enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB), Ultra-reliable and Low-latency Communications (uRLLC), and Massive Machine Type Communications (mMTC).
Who Should Attend?
This course is designed to provide a general overview for strategic or technical managers, consultants, communications professionals, network professionals and others who plan on using, evaluating or working with WCDMA & LTE wireless networks, applications and services.
