5G 移動網絡及 SDN/NFV 網絡功能虛擬化入門課程

第五代移動網絡

即將來臨的第五代行動通訊系統 (5G) 將如何影響您的生活？

5G 技術除了令您享受更快速的上網服務之外，還提供更多元化的服務及創新的技術！

正如十多年前雲端運算 (Cloud Computing) 的面世徹底地改革了企業運算的模式，5G 也勢必改革整個電訊行業的生態，並且普遍地影響人們的生活！

5G 為您帶來：

• Internet of Things (IoT) 物聯網 及 Smart Home 智能家居
• Vehicle-to-X (Vehicle-to-Vehicle 及 Vehicle-to-Infrastructure) 車輛之間的通訊能力及無人駕駛
• Multi-Gigabit Device-to-Device (D2D) 流動網絡
• 嶄新的家居，工業或商用的能源管理方案 (Energy Management Solution)
• 智慧電網 (Smart Grid) 及 智慧城市 (Smart City)
• 機器對機器通訊 (Machine Type Communication - MTC)

事實上在國內，已有數千 5G 發射基站完成部署並隨時可以投入生產。而各國媒體估算未來數年，中國將投入 1.2 萬億元人民幣，共部署 500 萬個 5G 發射基站，為數約等於上代 4G 發射基站的 1.5 倍。而本港於 2019年首季以先導計畫形式，開放約 1000 個適合安裝 5G 基站的政府場所。

香港商用的 5G 服務約於 2020 年面世，並於 2020 年至 2023 年期間普及。香港為此正加緊準備，包括 2020 年將指配共 4500 兆赫 (Megahertz) 的 5G 頻譜，數量是現時用於 2G、3G 及 4G 流動服務頻譜總和的 8 倍。

作為 i.t. 人的您應該如何面對新一浪科技革新的衝擊？

本課程將為您詳盡教授 5G 的無線電技術及應用場合，並教授因部署 5G 而帶來的數據中心網絡改革技術 (如 Software Defined Networking 及 Network Function Virtualization)，務求幫助學員了解未來重要 5G 科技的結構原理，從而應付未來的挑戰及發掘 5G 普及帶來的商機！
