Course Overview

5G is more than just a technological marvel. It is a business disruptor. This course will discuss how 5G transforms and disrupts. It will start with some technology basics to bring everyone to a common level especially focussing on how 5G accelerates the sofwarisation of the communication infrastructure using Cloud elements. We will study how this change lowers cost, increases reliability and significantly improves overall communication performance thereby increasing revenue and profitability. Softwarisation will also allow enterprises to deploy private 5G networks. Very quickly, we will dive into the business impacts that real world deployments have brought to the 5G early movers like China, US, South Korea, and the EU. In-depth 5G business case studies perform post-mortem on what has succeeded in meeting Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and what lessons have been learnt. Examples cover many different industry verticals such as manufacturing (Industry 4.0), logistics, built environment, equipment operations and maintenance (OAM), telemedicine/remote surgery, smart agriculture, integrated traffic systems, education and many others. A sample of use cases will be used to discuss the ecosystems to drive 5G business models.
