Course Summary
The technologies surrounding broadband are constantly evolving, and it is predicted there will be new mobile network technologies every 10 years. However, with how rapidly technological developments are occurring, this prediction may be shortened dramatically.
To truly grasp the concept of future transformations of broadband, it is essential to evaluate previous generations of technology and how they have advanced. There are a vast number of factors to consider when making broadband improvements, including frequency bands, peak data rates, ease of user mobility, security and congestion balance. When creating new technologies, components and features are often adapted and integrated from previous generations, where extensive testing is needed to ensure all technologies are compatible.
With the current generation of 5G, there has been a strong shift in focus. Previous generations focused on standardisation and keeping the physical demand of the network low. 5G has taken on the new challenge of allowing for more demanding usage from the network, and allowing users to use 5G networks as they would a wired network. 5G has much greater capabilities when it comes to data transmission in all regards.
- To understand the importance of mobile broadband.
- To review the evolution of broadband technology.

This course uses a variety of adult learning styles to aid full understanding and comprehension. Participants will review established 5G networks to highlight key features of the architecture and protocols.
They will be supplied with all the necessary equipment to carry out the given learning exercises. To enhance their understanding of the subjects, participants will partake in presentations, open discussions, practical demonstrations and activities. Combined with the individual activities where they can personally investigate features of 5G networks, they will have ample opportunities to develop a full and in-depth understanding of the content.
