2025 UEN Tech Summit

The presentation will cover: What are the 5G benefits? Low latency, high throughput, Spectrum, RAN architecture choices, Core Network choices, and local breakout scenarios.

This will be a tutorial to teach the audience basic RF concepts, from coverage and capacity, the tradeoff between 4G and 5G (and why 5G?), and how 5G improves latency and throughput. Then, we focus on the connection between use cases, devices, spectrum strategy, and how that drives the overall network strategy. We delve into the intricacies of various RAN architectures that maximize coverage and capacity while optimizing Capex and Opex. Similarly, we take a look at different core network scenarios. After teaching the audience how to architect a 5G network, we dive into the day-to-day operational requirements. what should we measure while rolling out the network and once we are in an operational state, how we should Design-> Implement -> Measure -> Optimize (in a cyclical manner).
