The advent of 5G and its applications will greatly impact the world and how we conduct business. An advanced understanding of how the changes and improvements in capacity, transmission, service quality and the impacts on the 5G marketplace will provide business opportunities to optimize the 5G capabilities.
Planning, designing and dimensioning come with their own challenges and role players need to be aware of the risks, challenges and opportunities to truly exploit the future of this technology.
This course upskills delegates on the tools and insights needed to prepare for 5G NSA and SA; focusing on how to maximize network capacity, evaluate service quality, optimize usage of radio networks and enhance data transmission.
Target Audiece
Radio Network Engineers, Radio Network Planners, Radio Network Optimizers, Mobile Network Operators, University Post-Graduate Students.
