5G technology: the process of deployment in Latin American countries
5G technology is in the process of deployment in Latin American countries. The presentation gives an introduction about main 5G challenges and features involved, with an explanation of differences between 4G, 5G NSA and 5G SA architectures and both 5G phases pre-requirements that must be presented in order to have a proper registration between radio base stations and UEs. Besides, a roadmap about Latin America deployment countries, 5G NSA/SA technologies, NR bands and ENDC most common combinations deployed in Latin America is presented, and some activities performed in the SIDIA laboratory for 5G KPIs and smartphone feature testing are shown in the presentation. Finishing with tips and suggestions about most needed skills are searched in order to work as a 5G Protocol Engineer
