This masterclass focusses initially on the commercial aspects of 5G and the capabilities it brings to telcos, new and emerging players in the communications industry, as well as adjacent industries. It illustrates how the technology (New Radio, NG-RAN, and SBA – Service Based Architecture), enable and support the required flexibility, cost structures, diverse deployment scenarios, and new use cases – to support existing and new / emerging business models.

We explore, and make sense of, the next phase of connectivity and connected innovation, and the role 5G has in enabling the transition to a massively expanded set of business models and opportunities. Participants will build a much clearer picture of the steps they (and their teams) need to take within their own organisation to maximise the opportunities that 5G presents.

This masterclass then provides a technical introduction to 5G, including the principles, design, and implementation of the 5G air interface, radio access network and core network, and the operation of the 5G system. 

All  attendees of this masterclass  will have 6 month’s access to the Wray Castle Enterprise Academy for Executive Briefings, Tech Talks and On-Demand Self-Paced Learning for 5G Engineering and 5G – a Business Perspective.

To gain maximum benefit, participants should have a relatively rounded background in telecommunications or adjacent industries (whether technical, commercial, or both).

This programme is recommended for participants who have a relatively rounded background in telecommunications or adjacent industries (whether technical, commercial, or both).
