Course Details
This course is designed to introduce the main concepts behind 5G and NTN (Non Terrestrial Network) satellite communications. This will be considered on a high-level basis, with focus on the key components, 5G and satellite access architecture options and considerations. It will also provide an insight into 5G related spectrum and operation.
