Course Details

The continued rollout of 5G is having a very significant impact on the packet transport networks required to support the technology. This course seeks to clarify the key areas which must be considered when dimensioning the transport network, with focus on factors related to the radio and NG-RAN, as well as other areas such as Network Slicing and MEC. The course will then provide an overview of the packet transport technologies being used today, examining the use of OTN, Ethernet and MPLS.
