This course provides an advanced understanding of how the changes and improvements in capacity, transmission and service quality to the 5G marketplace will provide businesses an opportunity to optimize 5G.
The advent of 5G and its applications will have a big impact on the world and on how we conduct business. Planning, designing and dimensioning comes with its own challenges and Telcos need to be aware of the risks, challenges and opportunities to truly exploit the future of this technology.
This 3-day course upskills delegates on the tools and insights needed to prepare for 5G; focusing on how to maximize network capacity, evaluate service quality, optimize usage of radio networks and enhance data transmission.
NOTE: This course is not delivered with the FoldOut methodology.
