- Course in a Nutshell
-
Satellites are a key component of the global communications infrastructure, including technically advanced and developing countries alike. It’s the only telephony and broadband wide-area network technology that’s available everywhere, from the concrete jungles to the rain forests. For anyone involved with telecommunication and information technology, understanding this technology is a fundamental requirement.
In this course you will learn both the technology and applications of satellites ranging from the early Sputnik to today’s advanced nano-satellites with optical laser links. We will review the satellite system components as well as the satellite deployment process from the launch to the in-orbit operation. You will learn how a program manager plans resources and schedules for a successful deployment of a satellite VSAT network. At the end of this one-day course, you will have acquired a comprehensive overview of this technology from the technical and managerial perspective
