5GCOPS - Operationalizing Cisco 5G Solutions

5GCOPS - Operationalizing Cisco 5G Solutions Course Details:

5G, the newest 5th generation mobile wireless broadband technology is based on the IEEE 802.11ac standard. In 2021, organizations looking to deploy their 5G vision immediately realize that they will need to master many new technologies. This course addresses those technologies and includes the latest research and industry techniques needed to give you the necessary resources, tools, and pointers to build and operate 5G networks that organizations are looking for.

5G is quite different from 4G and it is necessary to understand the underlying 5G cloud-native technologies to fully embrace and understand 5G. This course starts from the basics by introducing the motivation for 5G, its enabling technologies including fundamental cloud-native principles and then builds on top of these concepts as we explore the 5G Core concepts in depth.

4G is going to be around for quite a while and both 4G and 5G networks will need to co-exist for many years. This course covers practical deployment considerations for such 4G/5G co-existence scenarios as well.
