Taking on a much bigger role than previous generations, 5G expands the value of mobile networks and empowers new connected services across an array of world-changing use cases. A unifying connectivity fabric for future innovations, 5G can serve a wide range of services in a single network, from enhanced mobile broadband and massive IoT to mission critical services.

5G networks offer high reliability, low latency, and dedicated network resources, enabling connectivity for many devices, as well as new use cases and applications for industrial IoT. Release 16 unlocks new 5G capabilities suitable for factory automation and safety related applications, including millisecond latencies and 99.9999% reliability, support for time sensitive networks (TSN), wireless industrial ethernet for more flexible manufacturing, support for private networks, and operating in unlicensed spectrum.

IT engineers, managers, and IoT strategists should attend this half day course to learn about key 5G enablers and capabilities, and considerations for deploying 5G in the industrial environment. The course covers architecture, deployment, and network management to provide a holistic view into the possibilities and challenges when launching a 5G industrial network.
