Course Overview

Telecom networks, from 2G to 5G and beyond, rely on globally harmonized standards to ensure interoperability, security, spectrum efficiency, and service quality. Standards developed by ITU, 3GPP, and ETSI influence network design, spectrum allocation, device compatibility, and regulatory compliance. This course provides participants with a practical understanding of international standards and their impact on policy, regulation, and network deployment. Participants will explore standardization processes, real-world case studies, and compliance exercises, enabling informed decisions for network planning, governance, and public policy alignment.
