5G Device Testing, GCF/PTCRB Interview Preparation

by Rajesh Kumar ยท in General ยท Last updated: August 8, 2026
Course Description
This course provides industry-oriented training on 5G device testing, covering 5G technology fundamentals, network architecture, protocol stack, RF testing, performance validation, compliance, and certification requirements. Learners gain practical exposure to protocol testing, log analysis, RF KPIs, SAR, interoperability testing, and the GCF/PTCRB certification process using industry-standard tools and test methodologies.
The course also introduces test automation concepts using Python-based frameworks and includes focused interview preparation, mock sessions, real-time log analysis exercises, and hands-on technical questions to prepare candidates for 5G device testing roles in OEMs, operators, and certification labs.
