5G Networking

Overview

The Professional Certificate in 5G Networking has been designed to introduce learners to core concepts of 5G networking, while examining practical examples of its deployment across various industries.

In 5G Essentials, learners explore how 5G has evolved from its predecessors – 3G and 4G. We also analyse key concepts in 5G radio, 5G spectrum sharing, end-to-end 5G network architecture, enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB), Mass Connectivity, and Ultra Reliable and Low Latency Communications (URLLC).

In 5G Deployment, learners look at how 5G is deployed through 5G Radio Access Network (RAN) Virtualisation, network slicing, and Multi-Access Edge Computing (MEC) for disaggregated core in different industries, such as health care and mining.

The 5G Networking programme in collaboration with Curtin University - CurtinX is a Professional Certificate.
