IMTalent | 5G Network Architecture with Core Network Planning and Security

Overview

This course covers the next major phase of mobile communication technologies and standards beyond the current 4G/IMT-Advanced Standards. The course covers 5G technologies in full depth and breadth and includes topics like software based architecture, Network Slicing, Virtualised Network Core Functions, User Plane splitting, Full layered cybersecurity and 5G applications that will revolutionise the form and operation of mobile network operators.

Participants will find out how 5G system is designed as compared to 4G, in terms of speed, agility and intelligence, IT infrastructure and Security. New trends and services such as D2D. IoT, Smart Cities, Autonomous Driving, low-latency remote control, are just some of the use cases that operators will be able to leverage to boost their business towards the new era of all-software defined businesses.
