VSAT / Satellite Network Engineering Workshop
3 DAYS
INSTRUCTOR LED WORKSHOP
“OUR COURSES CAN BE SPECIALLY TAILORED TO ADDRESS YOUR REQUIREMENT – TELECONTRAN”
COURSE OBJECTIVES
Communications speed is one of the major challenges faced by thousands of companies operating in remote or tough places around the world. As such, many companies choose to implement in their process flow, satellite systems that allow them to have an agile and independent communications network. Satellite Communications Systems is the only guide that covers the entire technology, from ground links through signaling, access, spacecraft, orbits and positioning.
This workshop is designed to provide a comprehensive understanding on the use and development of satellite communications and VSAT networks. The course provides principles and technologies used in the design and performance of satellite communications system.
After successful completion of this course participants will be able to:
- Explain the basic 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.
- Illustrate VSAT based Satellite communication architecture and details of VSAT based communications system, such as propagation aspects, link design and analysis.
- Sketch about future of Satellite Communication and its application in 5G Networking.

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.
