Improved standards of operational effectiveness for U.S. Government agencies is being facilitated through delivery of training that enables high-performance deployments of satellite communications systems. The development arises in conjunction with increasing reliance upon VSAT-based solutions for communications worldwide.
By Light Professional IT Services (By Light) has teamed with the Global VSAT Forum (GVF) and SatProf to provide online and hands-on VSAT installation training for technicians in the U.S. military and other government agencies. The VSAT Installation Training is part of a global program of GVF, the non-profit association of the satellite communications industry. The online curriculum development and course administration are provided by SatProf, a company dedicated to E-learning for Satellite Professionals. The GVF training courses have been endorsed by the Satellite Users Interference Reduction Group (SUIRG), a global industry organization dedicated to stopping satellite radio frequency interference (RFI) before it begins.
By Light will provide the Hands-On Skills Test (HOST) at the By Light Integration Center (BIC) located in Fayetteville, North Carolina. Arrangements can be made to provide the HOST to a group of students at a predetermined location. Students who complete GVF Advanced VSAT Installer Certification and any Specialty Certification may be posted in the GVF’s Global VSAT Installers’ Database.
