5G Core and Radio Access Network Corporate Training
Instructor-led 5G core and RAN training that builds hands-on network skills for your team.
This program helps your team understand the 5G core and radio access network end to end, from service-based architecture and key network functions to gNB design, CU/DU splits, and the 5G NR air interface. Through guided labs, employees practice configuring core functions, planning RAN deployments, and validating performance, so they return ready to support rollout and optimization work.

Program Overview: What is 5G Core and Radio Access Network Corporate Training?
5G Core & Radio Access Network is Edstellar's instructor-led technical program for teams that run 5G networks. Participants learn how core functions like AMF, SMF, and UPF interact over service-based interfaces, and how the RAN gNB, CU/DU split, and 5G NR air interface deliver capacity and coverage. The program also covers network slicing, QoS, edge computing, and security hardening.
Training is hands-on from the first module. Participants configure core network functions, explore the CU/DU split, and measure massive MIMO behavior in guided labs built on realistic 5G scenarios. Instructors review every exercise and give direct feedback, adapting each session to your tools and deployment context. The program closes with a capstone where the team designs and validates a sliced enterprise network.
Teams often operate 5G networks they don't fully understand, which makes faults harder to isolate and changes riskier to deploy. This program teaches your engineers how the 5G system actually behaves: signaling flows, slicing mechanics, and where security hardening matters most. Every concept is practiced in labs, so troubleshooting back at work rests on working knowledge, not guesswork.
They build a 5G core and radio access network end to end, a working design, not slides, and return fluent across both domains instead of split into core-or-radio silos.
Across seven modules, the program moves from 5G fundamentals into core operations, RAN architecture, slicing, and security hardening. Each module pairs concise instructor-led teaching with a hands-on lab, so employees configure, measure, and troubleshoot real 5G behaviors instead of only reading about them. A capstone build asks teams to design and validate a sliced enterprise network. Content adapts to your tools and deployment context, so skills transfer directly to day-to-day work.
