Importance of IoT Device Manager Solution

Most of the latest technology is connected via the internet through AI (Artificial Intelligence), IoT (Internet of Things) and ICT (Internet Communication Technology) devices. This makes cybersecurity a large concern. Now, consider an entire city operating on the same network. This includes homes, offices and public enterprises. Therefore, it becomes crucial to ensure the protection of their data. And here, 5G comes into play. It is more secure, has higher bandwidth and reduces time-cost. So, this 5G course is designed in such a way, that you understand all the benefits of 5G and its applicability.

This online 5G course will thoroughly cover all the major 5G technologies. These include V2V (vehicle-to-vehicle)/ V2X (vehicle to infrastructure) communication, augmented/ virtual reality (AR/ VR), among others. The course will also pertain to topics like mmWave MIMO exploitation and nonorthogonal asynchronous transmission in NOMA. Prof Aditya firmly believes that these can help connect a large number of sensors in the 5G ecosystem toward the realization of smart homes, cities and industries.

The course will also take into account the results and insights in recently published papers from top journals. The last two days of the course will focus extensively on MATLAB projects. This will help the participants to understand the finer aspects and challenges in the translation of research into the practical implementation of 5G technologies.

In addition to lectures covering the various 5G concepts, the course will also comprise of tutorial problem-solving sessions.
