Why this VSAT course?

This is a well-established Continuing Professional Development (CPD) short course. It provides a technical foundation in VSAT communications together with an appreciation of the latest developments and the understanding to deal with VSAT systems and their applications.

Very Small Aperture Terminals (VSATs) support a range of highly effective broadband, Internet, and multimedia satellite communications services. This course commences by developing a thorough understanding of the fundamentals of satellite links, and moves on to implementation issues and case studies.

Who should attend this VSAT course

All those requiring a technical understanding of VSAT systems as well as detailed knowledge of current systems design.
The course will serve practising engineers and information technologists as well as managers, users and those concerned about the impact of VSATs.

VSAT Course Pre-requisites

Delegates should have existing experience in telecommunications or data networking prior to attending this course.

Lifetime Post-Course Support

After completing this VSAT training course, delegates receive lifetime post-training support from LEVER Technology Group PLC, to help them apply the technologies and skills they have learned with us, to provide career-long support, and to ensure they are better equipped for their future roles in IT and networking.
