5G Associate Level Certification (Non-Standalone, NSA)

The 5G Associate Level Certification (Non-Standalone, NSA) is a professional certification designed for individuals looking to build foundational knowledge and skills in 5G technology, focusing on the Non-Standalone (NSA) deployment model. In NSA, 5G is deployed alongside existing 4G LTE infrastructure, using the 4G core network to anchor 5G radio access. This hybrid approach allows telecom providers to roll out 5G capabilities more quickly and cost-effectively by leveraging existing resources.
