Course Details

The 5G System supports by design a broad range of new use cases, requiring low latency and high reliability. These use cases, referred to as Ultra-Reliable and Low Latency Communications (URLLC), or Critical Machine Type Communications (cMTC), are expected to enable a plethora of applications, including industrial automation, smart-grid, remote surgery, vehicular automation, and many others.    
This course provides a foundation of the main technologies proposed by 3GPP for the support of critical and time-sensitive machine-type communications, including the integration of a 5G System to an IEEE Time Sensitive Network.

How long do I get access to the course?

On-demand courses are accessible immediately following purchase. Each course will have a different access period ranging from 3-6 months on average. You can continue to access the Mpirical learning platform after your course licence expires; however, you won’t be able to view any course content or learning tools unless you are a paid customer.

What else do I get with a course?

All students benefit from automatic access to our ‘Ask the Trainer’ feature with an on-demand course purchase. You will also get access to our acclaimed network visualisation tool, NetX.*

*NetX is not included with the Mini Telecoms MBA course or partner training.

Can I access the course offline?

Offline access is not currently available. You must use a connected device to access the course and learning tools. However, course pdfs and reference documents are downloadable.

Is there recommended follow-on training?

Yes, we do recommend follow-on training courses within the Mpirical learning platform.

How do I choose between a live course or on-demand course?

Our live courses are generally reserved for teams and enterprises of 10 or more. If you’d like to learn more about purchasing a single course to be delivered at your location or online, please get in touch: enquiries@mpirical.com.
