- Course in a Nutshell
-
Satellites are a key component of the world’s 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. Finally, we will study how to design a satellite network and select the proper components. In short, you will learn everything from A to Z for a comprehensive review of this important technology.
- Customize It!
-
- Are you involved with commercial satellites or military? This course is available in two versions, COMSATCOM and MILSATCOM, for commercial and military audiences, respectively.
- Are you a wireless or satellite engineer who would like to “fill in the holes” and catch up with the state-of-the-art of satellites? Let us know so we can focus on the areas that interest you the most.
- Are you a satellite installer who would like to learn the concepts and theory that underlie your craft? We can focus on the tools and techniques that will help you become more “tech savvy”.
- Are you a manager, executive, or sales person whose work involves satellite communication systems? If so, we can emphasize those parts of the course that deal with the markets and applications pertinent to your project or product.
- Add a workshop day (SATSHOP) at the end of the course, for a total of 3 days: Get some hands-on practice on the design, procurement, and installation of a satellite network. We can help you get ready! Please ask us about the “combo discount”.
