Our Verdict
The 4G LTE Evolved Packet Core (EPC) course is comprehensive and valuable for entry-level students and professionals seeking a solid understanding of LTE RAN Architecture, network elements, Quality of Service (QoS), LTE protocols, network identifiers, and Security aspects. Although the course could improve some aspects like updating certain information and refining its subtitles and transcripts, it still manages to deliver a strong overview that sparks interest in advanced topics for networking engineers—particularly those working on UE equipment seeking further understanding of cellular networks' backbone.
What We Liked
- Covers LTE architecture and call flows in-depth, making it easy to understand complex concepts
- Slides can be downloaded for further study and reference
- Well-paced content with just the right level of depth, allowing for a good grasp of the topic
- Addresses both theoretical and practical aspects of LTE
Potential Drawbacks
- Some information is dated and could benefit from an update, such as mentioning newer CATs (CAT15, CAT18, CAT19, CAT20) models
- Lacks in-depth exploration of IMS and VAS environment attached to the EPC, leaving some questions unanswered for those working with or interested in such areas
- Could provide more hands-on Wireshark examples and include labs for troubleshooting practical problems
- Subtitles/transcripts could be improved, as they often fail to capture the acronyms and technical terminology accurately
