  1. 01 · LTE-101Paid plan

    LTE Fundamentals

    How the all-IP mobile network of 3GPP Release 8 onwards works, from the radio to the evolved packet core. You will learn why LTE was built, how its radio, channels and protocols carry data, how the core attaches phones and sets up bearers with their quality of service, and how mobility, voice, SMS and LTE-Advanced work on the road to 5G.

    5G Fundamentals

    How the service-based mobile network of 3GPP Release 15 onwards works, from the NR radio to the 5G core. You will learn why 5G was built, how NR's physical layer and initial access work, how the NG-RAN and the 5G core are put together, how a phone registers and gets PDU sessions with their QoS flows, and how mobility, network slicing, edge computing, roaming and non-terrestrial networks work.

  3. 03 · 5G-201Paid plan

    5G NSA Architecture

    How an operator designs, builds and runs a non-standalone (NSA) 5G network, the E-UTRA-NR dual connectivity (EN-DC) Option 3x deployment with an LTE anchor, an en-gNB and an upgraded evolved packet core. You will choose a deployment option, prepare the EPC and X2 for NR, follow the secondary node from addition to release hop by hop, run the split bearer, plan anchor bands and band combinations, carry voice and plan the road to standalone, and diagnose a failing EN-DC cluster from its traces and counters.
