Overview
What this challenge is about.
Inventory the 3 workloads with concrete numbers (e.g., 'straddle carriers: 12 ms one-way latency, 99.999 percent availability, 50 Mbps uplink'). Design 3 5G network slices (eMBB, URLLC, mMTC) mapped to the workloads, with SLA targets and Quality of Service (QoS) flow assignments. Model the comparison vs a private LTE baseline on latency, capacity, and capex (using vendor public pricing). Identify 4 deployment risks (interference at gantries, mast siting, RF planning around steel containers, slice-isolation testing). Deliver the slicing design document (12 pages), the comparison spreadsheet, and a 30-slide deck for the port CTO.
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.
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
