5G Training for Non Engineers

5G Training for Non Engineers

5G is about results not just technology.

For the non-engineer this is significant. From smartphone consumers to team leaders in organizations around the world, the impact of 5G technology needs to be firmly grasped.

5G not only delivers faster, better mobile broadband services compared to its predecessor 4G LTE, but it also expands into new service areas, such as mission-critical communications and connecting the massive IoT.

This is enabled by many new 5G NR air interface design techniques, such as a new self-contained TDD subframe design.

Some would argue that 5G’s greatest asset is not its speed so much as its near zero latency. Latency is the delay between a user’s action and a web application’s response. With previous wireless network technologies, latency was a frustrating factor as smartphone users had to wait for a webpage to come up or game players had their games interrupted due to lag time.

For the non-engineer, 5G technology may sound more like a concept than a reality – but 5G is very real and growing more impactful every day.

A basic understanding of 5G technology helps to visualize the power of 5G and the potential. A good place to start is with the millimeter wave (mmWave).

It’s the 5G mmWave that helps realize significant return on investment. Many feel that the mmWave is an essential ingredient and a complementary building block of a high-performance 5G system. 5G mmWaves can deliver truly differentiated services, thereby making it an investment that all mobile operators should include as part of their 5G network deployment planning.

Bottom line: 5G technology impacts everyone, not just engineers.

The concept for 5G is both an evolution of wireless networks to meet future demands for data, and a revolution in architecture to enable a flexible and cost efficient network that can be efficiently scaled.

These are the network operator operational demands on the network and technology, but they are driven by the demands for the type user experience which should be offered.

For the non-engineer, it’s important to grasp basic concepts such as the difference among 4G, 5G and standalone (SA) 5G.
