Course Name:	SATCOM Training: Satellite Communication Training
Deployment Options:	Onsite - Instructor-Led Training
Course Duration:	3-4 days depending on audience background and options

Introduction:

The general 3-4-day course provides an introduction to communications satellite technologies, services, orbital mechanics to satellite design and launch, configuration and installation of earth stations, the implementation of communications links, the set-up of the satellite network, the capabilities, and limitations of current satellites. The popular and intensive course provides the attendees with an in-depth background of satellite communication techniques as well as a state of the art update on key emerging technologies and future systems. It addresses all important aspects of the subject, including traffic, multiple-access techniques, link budgets, the spacecraft bus, and the orbits.

Audience:

Professionals and managers who are new to the SATCOM industry, and who want to have a clear understanding of basic satellite communications.

Prerequisites:

A basic knowledge of communications is desireable

Customize it:

This 3-4-day course will be customized to your needs and specifications. Eno.com will assist you in identifying those needs and specifications. A word to the wise, there are many vendors of wireless training. They will typically have a broad and general course, one size fits all, already developed and just put your organization’s name on the title slide. This minimizes their effort and time investment. At Eno.com, every course is made to your exact and exacting specifications. We help you ensure what you are getting is what you really need even if at the beginning you weren’t too sure of what that was. We fit the class to your needs. We never fit you into our “standard”, one size fits all, class.

Objectives:

After completing this course, attendees will be able to: Explain the basics of Satellite Communications (SATCOM) Understand new SATCOM services and features Understand modern satellite system design , multiple access, modulation and coding schemes Understand orbital aspects Step through propagation aspects and antennas Investigate the state of the art in new areas such as speech and video coding, satellite networking and satellite personal communications Understand satellites subsystem & launching Understand satellite link design and analysis Define Very Small Aperture Terminals (VSAT) Understand Non-geosynchronous systems (NGSO) Explore GPS & Mobile Systems (Voice, Data and Video) Explain Internet Applications (GEO/ NGSO options) Explore the SATCOM trends
