The Mpirical Complete 5G Package includes the entire 5G training catalogue that Mpirical currently offers. Throughout the duration of the 12 month license, any new 5G courses that Mpirical introduces to its portfolio will automatically be accessible at no extra cost.
This article explores the deployment of 5G NR Transparent Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTNs), detailing the architecture’s advantages and challenges. It highlights how this “bent-pipe” NTN approach integrates ground-based gNodeB components with NGSO satellite constellations to expand global connectivity. Key challenges like moving beam management, interference mitigation, and latency are discussed, underscoring the potential and complexities in achieving seamless satellite-based mobile communication.
NetX is an app that sits within the Mpirical LearningZone. It has been developed as a visual aid for telecoms professionals. Users can apply their learning and get under the skin of the mobile network with NetX. Featuring a fully interactive 3GPP based network map, narrated call flows and detailed network procedures, NetX is essential for enhanced understanding of the telecoms network and how technologies and equipment interwork.
