Course Overview
There is hardly any country that does not use satellite communications technology to provide service to its people. An increasing number of countries and organisations have launched their own satellites (telecom, broadcasting and others) and some have even set up national space agencies as a way of using space technology to manage their natural resources, minimize disasters and monitor their environment. Global satellite systems now provide broadband, maritime and aeronautical services at increasing data rates. There is a need for continuous upskilling of professionals who work in this field at national regional and global levels.
