Overview/Description
The capabilities and performance thresholds of 5G are dependent on how 5G networks are deployed. This process of rolling out 5G is unique for each 5G carrier across the world. Of course, some elements of rollout remain the same no matter where you are on the planet. But others differ, and these differences are not always technological. Rollout decisions can relate to demographics, local attitudes, as well as national interests. Use this course to explore the 5G strategies of several international mobile communication service providers. Examine their current 5G rollout status, their marketing assertions, and the initiatives they are involved in. Evaluate the substance of their claims and compare them to the current reality of 5G. When you're done, you'll be able to outline the 5G initiatives of several of the most influential telcos.

Overview/Description
What in the world is the 5G protocol stack? Communication technologies are often discussed in terms of constructs called protocol stacks, which outline the distinct mechanisms working together to accomplish communication. 5G is no different! The 5G protocol stack is a complex monster – difficult to understand even for seasoned network engineers. Taking a step back to examine the good old Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model is an excellent way to further familiarize ourselves with protocol stacks as a concept and begin to understand the 5G protocol stack. Use this course to examine the OSI model and see how 5G fits into the picture. Then, use the OSI model to further appreciate some of the 5G protocol stack components and their purposes and operation. Upon completion of the course, you'll have a deeper understanding of the inner workings of the remarkable 5G protocol stack.
