Course Details

This course discusses the key concepts, technologies and market drivers shaping the development of 5G. It explores SA (Standalone) and NSA (Non-Standalone) 5G, the major 5G usage scenarios, eMBB (enhanced Mobile Broadband), mMTC (Massive Machine-Type Communications) and URLLC (Ultra-Reliable and Low-Latency Communications), and the factors driving network evolution, including GenAI (Generative AI) driven traffic growth. The session also considers 5G standardization and performance targets, the progress and challenges associated with 5G SA deployment, and the role of network slicing and private 5G networks. Finally, it examines practical 5G success stories, including Fixed Wireless Access and the growing integration of 5G with NTN (Non-Terrestrial Networks).
