Description

This course on 5G Automation covers all topics which are required to understand the automation of 5G networks completely. 5G networks will require automation that can support multi-domain and multi-vendor technologies as services such as Network slicing that will traverse across multiple network segments such as radio, access, core and edge networks. Network automation will help all networks to operate efficiently, diversify effectively, deliver quality, etc. This course will help you to understand the concept of 5G network automation completely.


5G networks are flexible and modular, with various technologies like network slicing, software-defined networking (SDN), cloud-native and cloud RAN, etc. A flexible architecture makes it feasible to increase the overall network capacity as needed, which completes the standardization of various APIs towards the infrastructure. As organizations integrate their networks with cloud assets, databases, and application assets, they must focus on incorporating automation at every step to efficiently manage their 5G networks and enable new 5G offerings.
