Course Details

5G is a technology which is heavily dependent on cloud based technology to support its operation, with cloud technology influencing many different aspects of 5G network operation, on an end to end basis. This course seeks to introduce some of the key concepts behind cloud, including foundational level information on exactly what the cloud is, as well as some of the key enabling technologies such as NFV, SDN, microservices, containers and Kubernetes. Focus will then be provided on application use cases of the technology, covering the 5G Core, C-RAN and MEC.

This course is available as part of a package or for individual purchase. View purchase options to learn more.
