Nana Appiah25 February 2025 I was enrolled on the complimentary LTE Fundamentals Training Course, good course completed the LTE Fundamtals test passed. The information on LTE was clear ans very layout. Stanley Lim6 February 2025 The contents of courses are comprehensive and detailed, equipping individuals with the skills necessary for their profession. Kirk Brotherton1 February 2025 I’ve found SATOMS very easy to use thus far - having a flexible timeframe for completion has allowed me to work on my VSAT Course when time permits, which works great for me as I work 9 to 5. Looking forward to completing my course and becoming qualified in my chosen field(s). Thanks SATOMS! Wee Seng Wilson Ng (Wil)1 February 2025 Enrolled in VSAT Installer course previously and went through everything at my own pace. The good: 1. Online based using browser, thus no need for top of the line computers, even your browser on smartphone works. The bad: 1. The interface will be stuck, and I can't proceed to next module until emailing support, no idea why this happens but it just does to me. Hope the issue is solved, or do not happen frequently. Augustin Bernard16 January 2025 Personal Experience: As someone who has completed the Fundamentals of LTE Technology training, I found the course to be incredibly informative and engaging. The content was straightforward and easy to understand, making it accessible for beginners while still providing valuable insights for more experienced learners. Overall, the training provided a comprehensive overview of LTE's purpose, historical context, and its pivotal role in modern telecommunications. It equipped me with the knowledge and skills needed to appreciate the significance of LTE and its impact on the industry.

Maritime VSAT FAQ
What is a stabilized antenna?
A stabilized antenna is a type of antenna system mounted on a moving platform, such as a ship or aircraft. It is designed to maintain a constant pointing directly toward a satellite in space, despite the movement of the platform. This is accomplished through advanced tracking technology continuously adjusting the antenna's position in real-time.
How does maritime VSAT work?
Maritime VSAT (Very Small Aperture Terminal) uses a satellite in geostationary orbit to transmit and receive data between a ship and a ground station. The ship's stabilized antenna tracks the satellite, and a modem on board sends and receives signals to and from the satellite. This allows the ship to access high-speed internet connectivity, voice and data transfer capabilities, and other communication services.
What are the two types of VSAT?
The two types of VSAT are SCPC (Single Channel Per Carrier) and TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access). SCPC is a dedicated channel always available to the user, whereas TDMA uses time slots to allow multiple users to share a single channel.
What is the difference between VSAT and INMARSAT?
VSAT (Very Small Aperture Terminal) is a satellite communication system that provides high-speed internet connectivity and other communication services to ships and offshore facilities. On the other hand, Inmarsat is a company that provides a range of satellite communication services, including VSAT, global mobile satellite services (GMSS), and aviation communication services. While VSAT is a specific type of satellite communication system, Inmarsat is a company that offers various communication services.
