Course Overview

Work directly with your own 5G network! You will follow a step-by-step approach to analyze the key components in a working 5G network. You will work directly with the UE, RAN and core services. You will perform basic call flow analysis through demonstration and optional Wireshark downloads. A hands-on approach to learning 5G is the best way to learn this new technology!

When you successfully complete this course, you will possess a well-rounded, vendor neutral, understanding of key components within the 5G network architecture and become fully empowered to take an active role in working with your 5G engineers. If you are an engineer and need a complete understanding of the 5G network, then strongly consider following up with our Deploying 5G Course.
