Course overview

Most networks in the region launched 5G on NSA and are now planning or executing the move to SA. This program gives engineers a structured understanding of the deployment options, their protocol and core implications and the migration decisions that matter.

Who should attend

  • Network planners and architects
  • RAN and core engineers involved in SA programs
  • Technical project managers

Prerequisites

  • Basic understanding of LTE and 5G architecture

Learning objectives

  1. 1Compare 3GPP deployment options and their trade-offs
  2. 2Explain EN-DC bearer types and split bearer operation
  3. 3Describe SA migration prerequisites in RAN, core, transport and devices
  4. 4Plan spectrum refarming and DSS considerations

Detailed curriculum

01Deployment Options
  • Options 2, 3x, 4, 7 and why 3x/2 dominate
  • Control and user plane anchoring
  • Device capability considerations
02NSA in Depth
  • EN-DC setup and SgNB addition
  • Split bearers and flow control
  • NSA KPIs and common issues
03SA Architecture
  • NG interface and NGAP
  • 5GC dependencies
  • VoNR and EPS fallback
  • Slicing and enterprise services
04Migration Engineering
  • Spectrum strategy and DSS
  • Transport and timing
  • Core migration and interworking
  • Migration program planning

Frequently asked questions

Live online programs are delivered in real time by an instructor over video with shared labs and interactive Q&A. Classroom programs are delivered face to face in Dubai or other GCC locations, with the instructor and lab environment in the room. Both use the same curricula and instructors.

Programs are built on 3GPP, O-RAN and industry standards and are vendor-agnostic by default. Corporate deliveries can include vendor-specific parameter mapping and scenarios where required.

Participants who complete a program receive a Teleriu certificate of completion. Teleriu programs are professional technical training and are not affiliated with any certification body unless explicitly stated.
