5G System Engineering Training:

5G System Engineering Training – Hands-on (Online, Onsite, and Classroom Live!)

5G is the next enhancement in mobile communications. This 5G System Engineering Training course, updated to 3GPP Release 17, introduces 5G technology from an end-to-end, architectural and operational perspective.

In so doing, the 5G System architecture is examined in detail, both from a Non-Standalone and Standalone perspective. The 5G System Engineering Training course then takes a “day in the life” approach to the 5G device, detailing typical activities such as Registration, Security, PDU Session Establishment, and Mobility.

What’s Included

• 3 days of 5G System Engineering Training with an expert instructor
• 5G System Engineering Electronic Course Guide
• Certificate of Completion
