5G may get a lot of hype—but it deserves to. In this course, get up to speed on this generation of mobile communications, explore how the technology works, and the new applications 5G and Edge Computing will make possible.
In this short, fast-paced Executive Briefing, you’ll quickly ramp up on 5G and Edge computing—what they mean, how they work, and how they can help. First, we’ll see exactly why 5G is such a difference over previous generations of mobile communication. But instead of just reciting dull specifics of bandwidth and latency numbers, we’ll explore the real-world impacts—and focus on the kinds of things this now makes possible. We’ll cover how the technology works, including terms like small cells, beamforming and platooning. Finally, we’ll explore how Edge computing fits into the picture, and what it adds. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have a much better understanding of how you can use 5G and Edge Computing to add value to your team or organization.
