In this course, you will learn fundamental aspects of operation and at-sea maintenance and troubleshooting of the Intellian stabilized Ku/Ka marine antennas, including the v60, v60G, v80G, v100 and v100GX (in Ku-band mode) systems, with the v100 used for detailed examples. General operation and problem solving concepts covered in the course also apply to the v240K, v240C, and v240M antennas.

Topics covered include hardware components of the Intellian v100 VSAT terminal, principles of operation of the terminal, startup and shutdown procedures, using the front panel operating controls, satellite modem operation, operator‐level troubleshooting, and preventive maintenance. Animation and simulator-based interactivity are used throughout the course to explain critical skills and concepts.

Why should VSAT operators be trained?

Marine VSAT terminals offer global broadband coverage to ships at sea. But for maximum up-time, crew members must be able to perform critical ongoing operational tasks after the installation technician has departed.

Audience:

This course is ideal for all radio operators, IT technicians, or other crew members who are responsible for operating and monitoring Intellian model v100 and similar Intellian Ku/Ka VSAT terminals while underway.

Certification:

Students who successfully complete this course are awarded the Marine Satcom Professional: Intellian Specialist Certification.
