LTE / 4G towards 5G Technology Workshop
3 DAYS
INSTRUCTOR LED WORKSHOP
“OUR COURSES CAN BE SPECIALLY TAILORED TO ADDRESS YOUR REQUIREMENT – TELECONTRAN”
COURSE OBJECTIVES
The evolution in cellular networking technology requires enhancements of its coaxial interconnections. 4G / LTE has become the most successful mobile wireless broadband technology, serving over one billion users as of the beginning of and handling a wide range of applications. Many industry experts believe that 5G networks alongside existing 4G LTE networks will be 10 to 20 times faster than 4G when fully deployed. The evolution towards 5G is considered to be the convergence of Internet services with legacy mobile networking standards with very high connectivity speeds.
This workshop is specially designed to provide a helicopter view of LTE/4G towards 5G technology along with all aspects of the technology released in LTE Advanced including Carrier Aggregation, Self-Organizing Network (SON), Heterogeneous Network (HetNet), Coordinated Multipoint operation (CoMP) and HeNB as well as a concise synopsis of the key areas associated with the 5G System, the 5G New Radio and NG-RAN, Small cells, 5G Cloud and 5G Security. The workshop also covers detailed deployment strategy for 5G network along with the migration path from 4G towards 5G.
After successful completion of this workshop participants will be able to
- Gain a comprehensive understanding of LTE/4G and 5G technologies and their implications for the ICT Industry business
- Understand major key features in LTE-Advanced as well as network architecture and components.
- Understand a concise and accessible explanation of the underlying technology and standards for 5G technology
- Differentiate among 4G, 4.5G and 5G
- Describe new 5G Radio Access Technology Interworking with LTE as well as New Radio (NR), Cloud RAN: Cloud- Radio Access Network (C-RAN) and Next Generation (NexGen) architecture.
- Identify the enhancements required in an 4G / 4.5G network to migrate to 5G network

OUR HAPPY CLIENTS
WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY ABOUT TELECONTRAN !!
Excellent introductory course presented by an excellent instructor who was so engaging and supportive that I did not hesitate to ask questions; His answers and presentation was great and understandable.
Excellent workshop that made me engaged during these days to learn about 5G Technology, especially the transport layer and end user experience.
Very well delivered course that clearly explains the 4G and beyond technology.
Good explanation with all the information related to LTE Evolution to beyond 4G, 4.5G network and the Evolution towards 5G network and graph on powerpoint.
The trainer explained LTE, LTE cell planning and 5G technologies in extremely interesting manner and I must say that the discussion during the workshop was simply excellent.
