The Department of Telecommunications (DoT) has launched a 12-week online course on 5G to train and certify its officials on the next-generation wireless broadband technology. Through the course, DoT aims to create an in-house pool of 5G experts and policy makers for 5G.
According to DoT, the objective of launching the course is to have a team of master trainers and 5G security experts within the DoT, who would formulate a roadmap for reinforcing education and awareness levels about 5G and also identify lacunae in existing legislations.
The DoT’s training arm National Telecommunications Institute for Policy Research, Innovation and Training (NTIPRIT) will conduct the online 5G certification course for DoT staff.
The course will act as a capsule programme for learning overall 5G technology from the perspective of policy making. Though the 5G certification course will initially be available to DoT staff, it will eventually be offered to other stakeholders too.
