ITC Global Certified VSAT Installer (ICVI)
The first stage of ITC Global's certification system is the entry level and begins with ITC Global Certified VSAT Installer (ICVI) certification. The primary intention of ICVI is to ensure that an individual (regardless of other qualifications) has learned and demonstrated the specialised techniques necessary to site, install and commission a VSAT system to the required standard.- Satellite Terminal Fundamentals
- Conduct of Site Surveys
- Safety Considerations
- Antenna Siting Considerations
- Approved Assembly Techniques
- Signal Acquisition Techniques
- Commissioning Procedure
- Documentation
ITC Global Certified VSAT Professional (ICVP)
Building on the practical focus of the ICVI certification, ICVP covers the gap between the traditional RFRadio frequency
Radio frequency is a rate of oscillation in the range of about 3 kHz to 300 GHz, which corresponds to the frequency of radio waves, and the alternating currents which carry radio signals...
