5G Network Transport
Course Overview
For 5G, a highly scalable and future-proof network architecture is required to enable the deployment and operation of new revenue-generating services. The transport architecture is key to this, providing the necessary standard interfaces, requirements, and modeling to realize this intelligent, coordinated automation.
With 5G bringing a significant increase in capacity, along with more stringent requirements with regards to performance including lower predictable delay, loss, and jitter, it requires an estimated doubling of radio sites deployed and the need for architecture with new RAN and core interfaces. These requirements must not only be met by mobile equipment but also by the underlying transport network.
Target Audience
This course is designed for telecommunications engineers working in the network transport design environment, as well as those who wish to extend their skills and knowledge in this domain.
