Course Details

This comprehensive course is designed to serve as a definitive reference guide for people seeking a deep understanding of the 5G Core Network architecture. It provides an exploration of the high-level 5G Core architecture, focusing on the key features, protocol stacks, and service-based architecture that underpin 5G networks. Additionally, beginning with 3GPP Release 15 and progressing through subsequent releases, this course delivers a structured walkthrough of architectural enhancements and new capabilities introduced in each release. It emphasizes the evolution of core network functions, enabling learners to grasp the full scope of the 5G Core's modular and scalable design.

This reference course follows a different format from our standard training modules. Designed as a reference resource, it offers flexible access to information. A test of understanding is included at the end of the course.

This course is not available as a package option.
