Course Overview

The Koenig Original 5G Core course provides a comprehensive deep dive into the architecture, protocols, and deployment models of the 5G Core Network, designed specifically for network engineers, telecom professionals, and IT specialists transitioning into next-generation mobile networks. This course equips learners with foundational and practical knowledge essential for understanding service-based architecture, network slicing, and cloud-native 5G Core deployments. Aligned with 3GPP standards, the training prepares professionals for real-world implementation and troubleshooting scenarios. With the global rollout of standalone 5G networks accelerating, demand for skilled 5G Core specialists is surging—according to industry surveys, certified professionals command up to 20% higher salaries than their non-certified peers, making this course a strategic investment for career advancement in telecommunications.

Participants engage with key technologies including Open5GS, UERANSIM, Docker, and Wireshark, gaining hands-on experience in a lab environment that simulates real 5G network deployments. The course includes practical labs where students configure and deploy a full 5G Core stack, establish PDU sessions, and troubleshoot common issues such as registration failures, authentication errors, and QoS policy misconfigurations. Using the Open5GS platform, learners build and manage a functional 5G Core network, analyzing signaling flows with Wireshark and validating connectivity through IP routing and DNS resolution tests. A capstone lab involves end-to-end traffic testing between a simulated User Equipment (UE) and external data networks, reinforcing skills in session management, network function interaction, and protocol analysis.
