Course Summary

The technologies surrounding broadband are constantly evolving, and it is predicted that new mobile network technologies will be developed every 10 years. However, this prediction may be shortened dramatically by the rapid technological developments occurring.
 

To truly grasp the concept of future transformations of broadband, it is essential to evaluate previous generations of technology and how they have advanced. Many factors to consider when making broadband improvements include 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 regarding data transmission in all regards.


Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
 

  • Understand the importance of mobile broadband.
  • Review the evolution of broadband technology.
  • Identify the role of 3GPP.
  • Reflect on 3GPP enhancements and how it has developed into used technology today.
  • Evaluate generational system architectures and compare previous generations to the current generation.
  • Assess the advantages and disadvantages of LTE-Wifi.
  • Utilise a range of broadcast and multicast techniques.
  • Understand the concepts of eMTC and Internet of Things (IoT).
  • Analyse services provided within 5G.
  • Compare and contrast 5G architecture to previous technology architecture.
  • Predict future technological advancements.

This course is designed for anyone who wishes to develop their broadband and data transmission knowledge. It would be most beneficial for:
 

  • Electrical Engineers
  • System Analysts
  • Communication Specialists
  • Electrical Engineering Managers
  • Technical Managers
  • Network Consultants
  • Software and System Engineers
  • IT Professionals

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 for the given learning exercises. Participants will participate in presentations, open discussions, practical demonstrations, and activities to enhance their understanding of the subjects. 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.
