FTI6003 5G for Digital Transformation

5G is envisioned to be the key technology enabler for digital transformation in all industry sectors. 5G systems will connect almost everything and anything, e.g., vehicles, robots, machines, appliances, sensors, etc., and people. In the near future, it will become difficult to imagine life without 5G. 

This module will equip students with knowledge and understanding of 5G technologies, the use cases and innovations enabled by 5G in smart nation and key industry sectors.

The module will be delivered in a holistic approach, through a mixture of face-to-face and on-line lectures, self-paced learning, interactive workshop and discussion sessions.

Through SIT’s unique applied learning approach, and tapping on the SIT’s 5G Trans Lab facilities, testbed, and modelling and simulation platform, students will explore disruptive innovations made possible by 5G with hands-on examples and projects. 

This module is designed and offered to students with a first technical degree working in the industry who would like to extend their knowledge and practical skills in the growth areas of 5G mobile communications.
