Build a 5G-Ready Network Engineering Team
5G architecture is the end-to-end design of a 5G network, the radio access network (RAN), the cloud-native 5G Core (5GC), and the transport that connects them, along with the key principles, service-based architecture, network slicing, edge computing, and SA/NSA deployment, that let operators and enterprises deliver fast, low-latency, massively connected services. As organizations modernize their networks and build private and public 5G, the engineers who understand how these pieces fit together directly shape network performance, cost, and time to launch.
As telecom operators and enterprises accelerate their move to 5G, this program helps your network teams understand and apply 5G architecture and its key principles inside real deployment scenarios. Empower your people with expert-led on-site, off-site, and virtual sessions delivered by Edstellar, a premier corporate training provider serving organizations worldwide in-person and virtually across popular languages. Fully customized to your goals, the program turns 5G architecture skills into lasting capabilities that lift performance across your network, core, and radio engineering teams.
By the end of the program, your team can map the 5G end-to-end architecture, explain the 5G Core service-based functions, design RAN and SA/NSA options, and apply network slicing and edge computing to real use cases. The result is faster, more confident 5G deployments, better-informed technology decisions, and a network engineering workforce that keeps your organization competitive as networks evolve toward 5G-Advanced and 6G.

Participants should have a basic understanding of mobile networks and telecom or networking fundamentals (for example 4G LTE concepts, IP networking, and core/RAN basics) before joining the 5G Architecture and Key Principles training. The program suits network, core, radio, and telecom engineers, as well as architects, planners, and technical managers. Teams without this background can request a tailored primer so every participant starts on solid footing.
