The rise of 5G across the world is changing the way we communicate and operate both professionally and personally. 5G is transforming key industries including transportation, healthcare, education, agriculture, power, and automotive. The demand for 5G is booming across the globe. More than two hundred operators worldwide have deployed 5G networks with hundreds more investing in the technology. Projections of more than one billion 5G connections are expected to be in place by the end of 2023. Approximately 750 million 5G smartphones shipped in 2022. The speed and proficiency of 5G is allowing new companies across industries to invest in IoT and Private Networks.
The demand for 5G continues to increase while fueling the need for qualified wireless engineers to fill positions across all sectors of this industry. UC San Diego Division of Extended Studies is a proud to partner with Qualcomm Technologies to offer this unique course which will provide our students the opportunity to receive a 5G Associate-Level Certification from a world leader in wireless technology.
Qualcomm Technologies’ 5G Associate-Level Certification is a comprehensive 5G certification that focuses on key 5G technologies. This course allows participants to receive one in-depth certification from the company that has invented many of the technologies that make 5G possible today.
