Description
Learn the concepts, the architecture and the technologies powering the O-RAN, and leap forward in your career and skills in 5G!Learn the technology and business directly from Industry expert pioneering the advancements in O-RAN!The world is increasingly powered by 5G. The advancements in 5G underpins major technological developments unfolding in the upcoming decade.But it has a few challenges and corresponding opportunitiesThere are only a handful of vendorsThe network complexity is increasingIT workloads are increasingly moving to the cloudThere is a need to deploy new services with ease and efficiencyWe need to make it easy to innovate with 5GWe need to enable a high degree of automation, foster a rapid pace of innovation and take advantage of modern IT technologies to be able to tackle these challenges.The Open RAN movement is advocating for essential principles that could shake up the industry. Particularly, within the Open RAN movement, the ORAN alliance was founded to address these opportunities. In this course, we will discussWhat is the business landscape in the telecom industry?What is ORAN? What are its ambitions?How ORAN Alliance works?What is the ORAN Target Architecture?How the ORAN architecture works?How are the desired use-cases achieved using ORAN?The course contents include lecture videos, slide handouts and quizzes.The contents are structured to be crisp and clear, and supported with visual imagery to aid the students.
