Course Summary
Mobile broadband is a feature that is used by almost every individual in their daily lives in some way. The technologies for broadband are constantly evolving, and it is originally estimated that a new mobile technology will be released to the public. However, these developments are becoming ever more frequent.
There are a vast number of factors that must be considered when publicising a new technology. The new release must improve from the previous one, focusing on peak data rates, frequency bands, compatibility with previous technologies, and full cybersecurity. While new releases often become the standard network regionally, it is crucial that it can co-exist with older technologies. To ensure this, newer networks are often built with previous networks as a base, and their development progresses through architectural enhancements.
5G is the most modern network service, containing various features found in previous networks. To be competent in the functions of 5G, one would need to have a full understanding of previous models. Furthermore, there is a stronger focus than ever on the importance of cybersecurity within 5G, as the newer technology opens up the opportunity for many issues that may not have existed previously.
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Understand the process of wireless internet access.
- Evaluate each stage of transmission.
- Assess previous generations of technology and how it has evolved.
- Identify the role of 3GPP.
- Reflect on 3PP enhancements and predict future possibilities.
- Define what LTE-WIFI is and its advantages and disadvantages.
- Utilise a range of broadcast and multicast techniques.
- Understand the purpose of eMTC networks and recent architecture enhancements.
- Compare and contrast 5G networks with previous networks.
- Review the continuous strive for automation and how 5G has achieved it.
- Explain what mmWave is and how it contributes to the function of 5G.
This course is designed for anyone wanting to enhance their knowledge about data transmission. It would be most beneficial for:
- IT Professionals
- Electrical Engineers
- Control and Instrumentation Engineers
- Technical Managers
- System Analysts
- Communication Specialists
- Electrical Engineering Managers
This course uses a variety of adult learning styles to aid full understanding and comprehension. Participants will review existing 5G networks to highlight key features that contribute to their efficiency.
They will be provided with the best tools and equipment in the industry to conduct the given learning exercises. With presentations, open discussion and practical demonstrations, participants will thoroughly understand the taught content. They will also be able to partake in practical activities to investigate individual features of 5G networks to develop further confidence in their capabilities.
