The standard presentation of this course assumes a bachelor of science in Electrical Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, or a related subject along with an appropriate background in communications.
- Prerequisites
- Course in a Nutshell
-
Designing and deploying a VSAT network offers many challenges. Some of these challenges are technical, some are logistical, and some are simply from the realm of the unexpected. Experience makes the difference!
Through examples and exercise, you will experience how to design and deploy a VSAT satellite network. You will learn everything from eliciting and documenting the customer requirements to developing project plans and schedules. You will undertake a real world case study to select vendors based on the criteria provided. You will learn what to look for in site surveys and how to avoid the mistakes that are commonly made. Finally, you will run through a complete installation process to learn what could go wrong. All in all, a day very well spent!
- Customize It!
-
- Are you a wireless or satellite engineer who’s familiar with the theory of satellite communications and need to understand the practical issues? Let us know and we will focus on the areas that interest you the most.
- Are you designing or deploying a military satellite network? If so, we can incorporate examples drawn from the real world military networks.
- Are you a manager, executive, or sales person with responsibility for the management of satellite network deployment? If so, we can emphasize the parts of the course that deal with proposal writing and program management.
- Combine this course with SATCOM (2 days), for a 3-day high-impact course covering both the theoretical and practical issues. Please ask about the “combo discount”.
