What's assessed

7 domains, 49 questions in total — drawn from the course lessons.

• NPN designs on one plant: ownership, traffic and placement

  7 questions

  Sort four NPN designs by placement, ownership and operation; compute which direction runs out first against the neighbours' frame; pick one and derive its site footprint.

• SNPN and PNI-NPN mechanics: identity, selection and access control

  7 questions

  Read how SNPN and PNI-NPN networks identify themselves, how devices select them and are admitted, and exactly where each model's boundaries lie.

• Credentials and onboarding: certificates, holders and first contact

  7 questions

  For certificate-only devices, choose EAP-TLS or AKA plus secondary authentication, trace EAP-TLS to the anchor key, and onboard factory-fresh devices through a credentials holder.

• Spectrum regimes and TDD coexistence

  7 questions

  Classify private-spectrum routes by mechanism, work database-managed grants and fixed area-licence edges, choose synchronised, semi-synchronised or guard-band TDD, and build the licence application ledger.

• Industrial RAN design: uplink, metal, mobility and position

  7 questions

  Count each zone's cells from uplink demand and a metal-hall link budget, choose small cells, DAS or MOCN, budget AGV handovers, and sort positioning claims.

• Enterprise edge: control plane, user plane, plant network

  7 questions

  Decide where the control and user planes run and what a WAN cut stops, then design the plant's data networks, addressing, N6 firewall, Layer-2 carriage and timing.

• Operations, migration and alternatives: a design you can defend

  7 questions

  Assign operations and SLA ownership per design, weigh Wi-Fi against private LTE and 5G, plan an LTE-to-5G migration within its interworking limits, and stress-test a port design.
