5G New Radio – RAN Protocols Developer Training
Master the future of wireless with our hands-on 5G NR RAN Developer program. This training covers L1, L2, and L3 protocols in depth, with practical insights into gNB and UE functionalities. Gain end-to-end expertise in 5G RAN development, testing, and deployment, and accelerate your career in the telecom industry.
This course provides a hands-on understanding of 5G NR Radio Access Network (RAN) protocols across the physical (L1), data link (L2), and control (L3) layers. Learners gain expertise in developing and testing gNB (base station) and UE (device) protocol stacks, covering procedures such as scheduling, mobility, bearer management, and signaling. The training bridges theory with practical implementation, preparing engineers for protocol development, debugging, and optimization in 5G systems.
