Hands-On
Microwave Radio System Installation
 
Course Description
This course teaches installation and troubleshooting technicians the key elements needed for installing, testing, validating and troubleshooting microwave links.

The course introduces the elementary principles of radio used in microwave services. It teaches how to survey the location in order to position access points in the appropriate location and how to avoid interference with other services. The course identifies the problems with alignment of antennas and dish systems as well as teaching what appropriate safety precautions need to be taken.
Students Will Learn
Target Audience
This course is geared for installation and troubleshooting technicians.
Prerequisites
This course assumes attendees already have basic knowledge of data communications, PCs and IP systems. No prior knowledge of radio or Wireless systems will be assumed
