This course is designed to immerse participants in the technological evolution and standard advancement of 5G and 5G-Advance, the development, policies, and ecosystem of the 5G industry as well as the typical application areas of 5G, such as energy, industry, education, healthcare, culture, and tourism, etc. It also covers deployment modalities through case studies in emerging technologies like AI, cloud computing, and big data.

The course explains the foundational concepts and components for e-governance interaction in information society. It starts with an introduction to what information society is and how it has established the environment for e-governance development and digital transformation in the public sector. Then, the main building blocks of e-governance, their aims, initiatives, and enablers are introduced, and how they are related to external subjects and domains.

Delivered from the perspective of a small state and targeted at Director-level and above candidates from Forum of Small States (FOSS) countries involved in digital policymaking, this training course will share policy, regulatory and economic development approaches to digital transformation for a digital ready future.

As countries ramp up digital transformation efforts to tackle complex challenges, digital public goods (DPGs) and open-source technologies have emerged as promising tools that the public sector could leverage to fulfil their mandates. This course provides government officials and policymakers with a comprehensive overview on DPGs and open-source technologies, including their importance in enhancing service delivery, fostering innovation, and promoting sustainable development.

This course focuses on future fixed and mobile broadband Internet, cloud computing and IoT/AI, including technical, business and regulatory aspects. It covers Internet technologies (IPv6, QUIC, DNS, QoS, cybersecurity), future fixed-terrestrial and satellite broadband including gigabit metallic, cable, and optical broadband (FTTH/FTTR, 50G-PON), submarine cable, satellite broadband, as well as transport networks (ITU’s OTN, SD-WAN, Carrier Ethernet).

Cybersecurity exercises are a very effective way of learning the practical aspects of information security. But designing such exercises is not an easy task. This course provides a number of steps and guidelines that should be followed when designing a cyber exercise. The steps include defining the objectives, choosing an approach, designing network topology, creating a scenario, establishing a set of rules, choosing appropriate metrics and capturing lessons learned. This 3-day training course examines the key elements required to develop cyber disaster response simulation exercises.

This course will focus on the economics of spectrum management. The aim of this course is to introduce students to the main economic principles and market-based mechanisms of spectrum management.  It presents and analyses available market tools for economic efficiency in the use of spectrum, such as auctions and spectrum pricing. It takes into account students’ need to understand the overall context - especially how and where market- and price- based tools fit into a country’s chosen regime of modern spectrum management.
