Training Short-Courses

Practical short courses for teams working with private 5G networks, software-defined radio, FPGA or RFSoC systems, and PYNQ development.

Built on real-world deployments

5G/6G Professional Training Courses

Our team of experienced Private 5G engineers have been deploying cellular networks based on software-defined radios since 2017, and have been at the forefront of championing regulatory changes relating to shared spectrum. Education is part of our heritage, with most of our team holding PhDs and Masters degrees from the University of Strathclyde. Our professional short courses combine real-world 5G deployment experience with in-depth topical knowledge, made approachable through our team’s history as educators.

Private 5G fundamentals

An Introduction to Private 5G Networks

A two-day course for teams who need actionable knowledge about private 5G without getting lost in terminology. The course covers public versus private 5G, 5G SA and NSA, 3GPP standards, spectrum planning, 5G cores, edge and cloud deployment, roaming, neutral hosting, user equipment and key radio hardware.

  • Use-case modules for rural and city networks, media and broadcasting, stadia and events.
  • Introduction to 5G configuration, network management and live private 5G SA demonstrations.
  • Designed for engineering, technical management and project teams evaluating private 5G.
Operational training

Hands On Private 5G Usage Training

A practical two or three-day course for teams who will deploy, operate or maintain a private 5G network. Training can be bundled with a Neutral Wireless private 5G network purchase and scheduled around collection or on-site delivery.

  • Step-by-step set-up walkthroughs using the Neutral Wireless Etive radio and Ness / Nessie BBU and 5G Core.
  • Network configuration and monitoring using nibOS, including connecting modems, handsets and encoders.
  • Troubleshooting, test runs, RF planning, backhaul, rigging and customer-led free-form testing.
Broadcast and live events

Live Events and Production with Private 5G

A two-day course for broadcast, media and live-event teams exploring private 5G as a production network. The course uses real deployment context to cover wireless production, flexible private 5G deployments, event workflow optimisation and production integration.

  • Private 5G for cameras, tally, talkback, camera control and additional wireless IP services.
  • Network planning, performance metrics, backhaul and nibOS configuration for event workflows.
  • Case studies covering royal occasions, large networks, network mobility and stadia broadcasts.
From Digital Fundamentals to Working Radio Systems.

FPGA, RFSOC, and Software-Defined Radio Courses

Our FPGA consultancy team has experience dating back to SDR solutions from the 1990s, and over the years have provided training to Tier 1 companies, governments, and at UK and US universities. Our FPGA/RFSoC consultancy team offers practical engineering courses covering software-defined radio, AMD RFSoC devices, PYNQ development and custom IP integration.

Software-defined radio

Designing SDR Systems with RFSoC PYNQ

A two-day course combining SDR theory with hands-on RFSoC hardware. The course covers digital radio architectures, RF data converters, PS / PL integration, RFDC operation, Vivado and PYNQ workflows.

  • Baseband processing, FEC, modulation and demodulation concepts.
  • Sampling rates, Nyquist zones, digital up/down conversion and RFDC data movement.
  • Practical design work, demos and real-time configuration, control and visualisation.
FPGA SoC development

An Introduction to PYNQ Development

A two-day practical course covering FPGA SoC architecture, PYNQ, Jupyter-based development, hardware acceleration and custom IP integration. The course combines focused lectures with interactive lab work.

  • FPGA logic, SoC architectures, PYNQ concepts, devices, components and tools.
  • AXI interconnections, streaming, custom drivers, interfacing and packaging IP cores.
  • Data visualisation, dashboards and practical exercises across the PYNQ workflow.
