This course examines how 5G and edge computing enable low-latency, distributed, and real-time services. Participants learn how 5G architecture differs from previous generations, how network slicing and edge placement change application design, and why these technologies are critical for IoT, media, industrial automation, and mission-critical systems. The course connects radio access, core networking, transport, and edge compute into a single architectural view, highlighting latency budgets, resilience challenges, and operational trade-offs. Delegates will understand where edge computing delivers value, where it does not, and how to align 5G and edge strategies with business and technical requirements.
Pre-requisites: Basic IP networking knowledge; familiarity with cloud or distributed application concepts is beneficial.
