The course will also explore 5G deployment challenges and private 5G deployment aspects in Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) settings, including sectors such as mining and healthcare. The aim of this course is to equip learners with industry-specific advanced skills in 5G.
The course is designed by an academic team from Curtin University that has extensive teaching experience and a successful track record of development of various MOOC courses, including the Micromasters Program in Internet of Things (with over a quarter of a million learners) and the Professional Certificate Program in Software Defined Networking (SDN).
Prerequisites:
There are no pre-requisites for this course. However, it is recommended that you complete our first course in this series: 5G1x – 5G Essentials, to successfully complete the Professional Certificate in 5G Networking.
What you'll learn
After completing this course, you will be able to:
• Understand 5G deployment challenges specifically related to massive MIMO, mmwave, and other issues.
• Explore 5G Radio Access Network (RAN) Virtualisation.
• Explain 5G and Multi-Access Edge Computing (MEC) for disaggregated core.
• Explore 5G Network Orchestration.
• Outline 5G deployment for IIoT settings in various industries.
