The Brief
What you'll do, and what you'll demonstrate.
Design a 5G network-slicing strategy for 3 competing port workloads and defend it against a private-LTE baseline for a 4-year deployment.
This is not a case study exercise. It is the work a consultant does when a client needs a recommendation backed by evidence. That distinction matters to every hiring manager who has seen candidates recite Porter's Five Forces and none who have built a recommendation a client would actually pay for.
When you finish, you will have something most graduates do not: a real-world deliverable, verified by Ewance, that you can show to a hiring manager and say "I did this. Here is the proof."
Earning criteria — what you'll demonstrate
- Map industrial workloads to 5G network slices (eMBB, URLLC, mMTC)
- Translate SLA targets into QoS flow assignments + slice configuration
- Compare cellular alternatives (5G SA vs LTE) on technical + commercial axes
- Defend a complex technical decision to a non-RF executive audience
