COURSE OBJECTIVES
Satellite communication system play pivotal role in increasing the communication technology infrastructure globally, especially in rural places or areas where microwave or fiber optic based mobile / broadband communications are convoluted. The space industry has pointed out that in the past 5 years, the commercial market has been driving the advancement of satellite communications technology. Satellite Communications Systems is the only guide that covers the entire technology, from ground links through signaling, access, spacecraft, orbits and positioning.
This workshop on Advanced Satellite Network Engineering is designed to provide a comprehensive understanding on the most recent advancement in the field of satellite communication systems to develop an understanding of the major approaches including electromagnetics, quantum physics, relativity, orbital mechanics, information theory, and hardware design relevant to practical system design and analysis along with the deeper aspects of satellite communications, such as, RF modelling and error control coding.
After successful completion of this course participants will be able to:
- Explain the basics principles of Satellite Communication and the satellite communications architecture.
- Describe the concepts of satellite communication links, transponders, frequency bands, link budgets and how they are affected by antennas.
- Understand the modern satellite propagation, multiple access, modulation, coding schemes and orbital aspects.
- Explain TCP / IP applied to SATCOM as well as IP Multicasting over Satellite communications technologies.
- Characterize regulatory principles of Advanced Satellite Communications.

OUR HAPPY CLIENTS
WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY ABOUT TELECONTRAN !!
The workshop gave me a clear understanding on the overview of VSAT systems, the different regulations and regulatory bodies who are involved in satellite and the internal mechanisms in VSAT.
The training provided in depth knowledge and complete overview of Satellite communications along with satellite governance and applications.
The workshop is very well delivered and the explanations on VSAT Design, Link Budget, Link Analysis etc. are very clear to understand.
There was very clear explanation on aeronautical, maritime and 5G along with many use cases which will help with future assignments.
It was a good training with more exposure on communication technology system.
