The program, which has so far received 40,000 registrations, delivers essential knowledge covering everything from the basics of 5G networks to professional level planning and design.

The launch of the 5G Network Slicing curriculum includes the role of network slicing in 5G deployments, its business benefits to both operators and enterprises, and how slicing works across the core, radio and transport domains. In addition, the course examines how end-to-end orchestration and automation work seamlessly across these domains to provide slicing services.

Network Slicing technology promises the delivery of a new generation of high-speed services, and Nokia Bell Labs brings clarity to network as a service. The new course offers a deeper understanding of how Network Slicing accentuates 5G System efficiencies enabling stringent and highly customized performance SLAs to be addressed affordably, bringing new value to operators, enterprises, and end-users alike.

A hallmark of the Nokia Bell Labs 5G Certification Program is its creative use of case studies to emphasize and demonstrate key learning points. 5G Network Slicing follows this formula using real-life examples of Network Slicing knowledge and application. As an emerging technology with many advantages, this course illustrates how orchestration provides end-to-end services and how automation helps to rapidly scale network slicing deployments.

The Nokia Bell Labs 5G Network Slicing course, as well as the complete program, is available for Individual learners, industry players and service providers who need to develop the capabilities to make strong business and technology planning decisions that are enabled by 5G. The program is also appropriate for anyone interested in going beyond foundational 5G knowledge and skills to make the most of 5G's capabilities today and in the future.
