I’m mapping my 2026 learning plan and need programs that merge RAN design with site energy engineering and lifecycle thinking — ideally Open RAN lab work plus DC power and LCA basics. Has anyone completed a 10–12 week course or micro-credential that covers hybrid solar/battery systems with real-time telemetry integration for remote sites, not just theory?
I haven’t seen a single 10–12 week course that nails Open RAN lab time plus DC power and LCA — drives me nuts — so I mixed TIP Community Lab access for O-RAN with an ITU Academy green-power module (https://academy.itu.int/) and a short LCA MOOC. That combo got me hands-on with hybrid solar/battery and “real-time telemetry integration” at remote sites via basic SNMP/MQTT hooks; would a stitched path like that work or do you need one issuer?
I set up a quick ‘10–12 week’ sprint by using OpenAirInterface for hands‑on RAN bring‑up and pairing it with a Victron Cerbo GX (or similar) pushing Modbus/SNMP into MQTT so you can trial hybrid solar/battery telemetry end‑to‑end — start with https://openairinterface.org and a borrowed GX if possible. Small caveat: you’ll still need to bolt on LCA; I did a quick Ecoinvent BoM screen with a sustainability colleague to cover lifecycle impacts. Would that combo fit your timeline?
