5G Deployment Course Series
  • 5G Deployment Course Series

    Wireless technologies have become a fundamental part of daily life in the 21st century. In order to function, wireless devices need to connect to cellular sites that provide good coverage both outdoors and indoors. To do that increasingly requires placement of sites closer to populated areas–creating new challenges for both the wireless industry and local governments.

    Join IEEE as it hosts a two-part paid course series entitled “Bridging the 4G/5G Gap: Telecommunications Roadmap for Implementation” presented by David Witkowski as he provides historical and technical context, risk vs. reward tradeoffs, and what is needed for 5G integration in today’s world.

    Attendees will earn a Certificate of Completion and up to 4 PDHs/0.4 CEUs for attending both events.
