Introduction
VSAT (Very Small Aperture Terminal) training is a course that provides both theoretical and practical knowledge on operation and installation of satellite and VSAT systems. The course is especially essential for technicians working or wishing to work with NGOs offering relief support and disaster mitigation in affected areas or prone zones. This is because VSAT communication is a system that is most reliable and efficient when other terrestrial infrastructure has been destroyed in the event of flooding, earthquakes and so on. In such cases, field officers are able to collect, analyse and disseminate critical information to headquarters or relief agencies in order to facilitate relief through VSAT communication.
Course overview
This course is an intensive program designed for installers of bi-directional satellite earth stations and WIFI Communication networks. The Course will offer both theoretical and practical skills transfer as applicable to DVB/TDMA VSAT field engineers, support engineers, sales and marketing professionals and operational managers.
