Course Description

The Aprisa SR three-day training course provides a basic overview of the Aprisa SR product and its application. Our training courses will teach you how to install, configure, and commission Aprisa radio systems. The course covers network applications, hardware architecture, software management and troubleshooting. The training also provides the advantage of an in-depth understanding of the interfacing capability, ultimately allowing you to achieve operational efficiencies This program is based on 60% hands-on lab work and 40% content slides. However, adequate backup material is provided in the training manuals for those who want to do more. AVIAT expert trainers conduct courses in a mentoring environment backed by their deep technology expertise and experience in implementing microwave wireless and IP/MPLS networks. The course is conducted at Aviat Training locations or can be arranged at customer sites.

Pre-requisites

While the Aprisa SR program starts with covering some basics of RF, networking, and NMS, strongly recommends the following expertise as pre-requisites:

• Working knowledge of the OSI network model, TCP/IP protocol suite, working of routers, bridges, Layer-2 and Layer-3 QoS, and packet processing.
• Working knowledge of SCADA

Objectives

Participants who have completed the course will have the knowledge and skills to carry out:

• Basic Aprisa configuration, performance monitoring, and fault diagnostics.
• System architecture and building blocks at the MAC, PHY, and RF levels and the performance attributes in applications for the Oil and Gas industry, video surveillance, backhauling, and BWA deployments.
