The world of telecommunications is rapidly evolving toward open, flexible, and software-driven architectures — and Open RAN (O-RAN) is at the centre of that transformation. O-RAN & 5G Open RAN – Concepts, Architecture & Practical Implementation is a comprehensive training program designed to help you understand the technical principles, network components, and practical deployment of O-RAN-based 4G and 5G systems. Whether you are an engineer, researcher, or network enthusiast, this course provides the essential skills to work confidently with one of the most innovative technologies in modern telecom infrastructure.

You’ll start by exploring Open RAN fundamentals, understanding the motivation behind disaggregated RAN architecture, and how O-RAN enables interoperability between hardware and software vendors. The course introduces you to the O-RAN Alliance’s reference architecture, open interfaces, and functional splits that define how next-generation networks operate efficiently.

Next, you’ll gain practical insight into srsRAN, an open-source software stack for LTE and 5G implementations. Through detailed lessons, you’ll learn the structure and functionality of srsRAN’s UE, eNodeB, and EPC components — covering everything from network setup to traffic flow management. You’ll also discover how Software-Defined Radios (SDRs) integrate with O-RAN environments, giving you hands-on knowledge of configuration, deployment, and testing in both lab and field conditions.

The course also covers critical topics such as Open RAN security, helping you understand the challenges and best practices for maintaining data integrity and network reliability in distributed, virtualised environments. By the end of your learning journey, you’ll have the knowledge to design and build private 4G/5G networks, work with SDR hardware like USRPs, and implement secure, interoperable O-RAN systems for research or enterprise use.

By combining theoretical knowledge with real-world implementation, this course bridges the gap between academic understanding and practical telecom deployment — equipping you with skills that are in high demand across global mobile network operators, equipment vendors, and open-source communities.
