SUMMARY:Shaping the Future of Connectivity: Policies to Promote Investment in Mobile Networks
DESCRIPTION:Overview\nMobile connectivity is a cornerstone of digital economic growth\, enabling innovation\, productivity and inclusion. Sustained investment in resilient network infrastructure is essential to meet evolving connectivity demands. Policymakers and regulators play a critical role in establishing enabling frameworks that encourage sustainable capital deployment by operators and ecosystem partners\, ensuring long-term digital competitiveness and societal benefit.\n\n\n \n\n\nThis two-day course will provide an overview of mobile network investment\, exploring the evolution of the mobile ecosystem\, the strategic value of infrastructure and regional market dynamics. It will also cover key investment drivers\, regulatory and taxation challenges and policy measures to support a more sustainable environment for mobile infrastructure investment.\n\n\n\n\nCourse Objectives\n\n\nUnderstand the foundational role of mobile connectivity in shaping and supporting digital economies.\n\n\nAnalyse the structure of the mobile ecosystem\, identifying the functions of key players such as operators\, infrastructure providers\, device manufacturers\, content/app providers and cloud/hyperscale companies.\n\n\nEvaluate the transition from traditional\, vertically integrated telecommunications models to modern platform-based approaches within the industry.\n\n\nTrace the technological evolution from 2G/3G voice and SMS services to advanced technologies such as 4G\, 5G\, 6G\, IoT\, AI and cloudification.\n\n\nExamine the impact of digital platforms and multisided market dynamics on policy\, investment and national competitiveness.\n\n\nDiscuss the strategic importance of creating a sustainable investment environment for mobile infrastructure.\n\n\n\nCourse Enrolment Criteria \nThis course is open to: \n\nRegulators\nPolicymakers\nRepresentatives from academia and international organisations working on regulatory or policy issues\n\nWe cannot accept applications from individuals working in the private sector or those not involved in policy or regulation. \n\nCourse Completion Certificates\n\nAll of our courses are certified by the UK Telecoms Academy (UKTA) and can be used as evidence of professional development.\n\n\nTo qualify for a course completion certificate\, you must view all the course sessions and answer correctly all the quiz questions you will find as you progress through the sessions.

SUMMARY:The Evolution of Radio Access Networks: Disaggregation\, Open RAN and 6G
DESCRIPTION:Overview\nThe Radio Access Network (RAN) is a key component of mobile operators’ infrastructure\, as it provides the coverage and capacity necessary for subscribers to access voice and data services. \nMotivated by the convergence of several technical\, commercial and geopolitical factors\, mobile network operators have been investigating and supporting a shift towards the use of virtualisation\, disaggregation and open interfaces in the RAN. The hope is that opening up proprietary elements and interfaces in the RAN will increase competition in the telecoms equipment market by encouraging new\, innovative vendors to enter the market. \nThis course examines the issues around a shift towards an open and disaggregated RAN\, looks at alliances and initiatives in the Open RAN movement and examines the impact that these industry headwinds will have on the development of the 6G standard. \nCourse Objectives \n\nUnderstand the fundamentals of open\, virtualised and disaggregated RAN\nUnderstand the ramifications – in terms of standards\, deployment\, network management\, security and use cases – of a move to towards Open RAN\nBecome knowledgeable about the challenges associated with current open and virtualised approaches to the RAN\nHave insights into the geopolitical drivers for open interfaces and supply chain diversification in the mobile telecoms equipment market\nUnderstand the policy and regulatory enablers for these new approaches to the RAN\n\nCourse Enrolment Criteria \nThis course is open to: \n\nRegulators\nPolicymakers\nRepresentatives from academia and international organisations working on regulatory or policy issues\n\nWe cannot accept applications from individuals working in the private sector or those not involved in policy or regulation. \nCourse Completion Certificates \nAll our courses are certified by the United Kingdom Telecoms Academy (UKTA) and accredited for Continuing Professional Development (CPD). \n \n  \nThis course equates to 13 hours of CPD training. \n  \n  \nTo qualify for a course completion certificate\, you must view all the course sessions and answer correctly all the quiz questions you will find as you progress through the sessions. You will also need to fill out the course survey. \nYou do not have to complete a final project to earn a course completion certificate but we strongly encourage you to create one. Putting together a final project will give you an opportunity to reflect on the principles covered during the course and help you discover how they could be applied to your own country.  If you submit a final project the course trainer will provide you with valuable feedback that you may find useful in your day-to-day work. \nCourse Structure and Study Time \nThe course consists of eight sessions and you will gain access to all of them on the course start date.
