Explore 5G End-to-End Standalone Network
Elevate your expertise in 5G Standalone (5G SA) networks with this hands-on training. Gain operational skills on the latest 5G protocols and interfaces, through practical exercises and real-world scenarios.
Lab Architecture
This Hands-On Training consists of a virtualized 5G Core Network connected to a radio access network and a UE that allows the user to simulate different 5G scenarios.
Why this Lab?
If you are looking to practice on 5G Standalone (5G SA) networks, this Lab is made for you. This Lab will give you the operational skills on the new 5G protocols and interfaces.
Lab Objectives
– Understanding 5G protocols: GTP, NAS, HTTP2, PFCP and NGAP.
– Understanding 5G Standalone architecture: AMF, SMF, UPF, UDM and NRF.
