Intelsat’s Interference Management Initiative (I3)
1000+ Intelsat Customers Have Received Free Training
Proper training is critical for reducing RFI incidents. A majority of RFI incidents are attributed to faulty installation practices, uplink errors and poor equipment maintenance regimes. Intelsat is endorsing training and certification programs with two industry-leading vendors: The Global VSAT Forum (GVF) and BeaconSeek. These courses will educate technicians on proper equipment installation and operational parameters.
Spaces Still Available
Intelsat customers can take advantage of the Intelsat-sponsored online training programs by contacting their Intelsat Customer Sales Engineer or by registering on Intelsat's website for the Global VSAT Forum VSAT Installer and Operator Training or the SlingPath SNG Operator Training.
In addition to the basic training, Intelsat is also encouraging customers to enroll in the advanced study and certification courses offered by GVF. Customers receive up to 20% off standard rates for the advanced study courses of GVF520 and GVF521.
