To enable legal network implementation,
NWNS is prepared to assist Customer in obtaining all the necessary
licenses and permissions. Where needed and where possible NWNS can
prepare, file and administrate all (VSAT) license applications,
typically on behalf of the Customer or end-user.
Alternatively Customer or end-user can use ? under specific
conditions - NWNS?s license or benefit from special agreements

Technology Training Program.
VSAT equipment together with most other
communications equipment is sensitive to instable power supply,
improper grid design and out of specs implementation. Power related
problems that may have a direct
negative effect on the
performance of such equipment could be:
- Blackout: Complete loss of power.
- Sag or Brownout: Decrease in voltage levels
which can last for periods ranging from fractions of a second to
hours. Sag can be caused by heavy equipment coming on line such
as tools, elevators, compressors etc. It also frequently occurs
when utility companies deliberately do this to cope with peak
load times.
- Spike: This is an tremendous increase in
voltage over a very short period of time often caused by a
direct lightning strike on a power line or when power returns
after a blackout.
- Surge: This
is a substantial increase in voltage lasting a small fraction of
a second, often caused when high powered appliances such as air
conditioners are switched off.
- EMI/RFI Noise: Electro Magnetic
Interference and Radio Frequency Interference. Caused by lack of
electrical earthing, lightning, generators, radio transmitters,
industrial equipment etc.
Some or all of the above listed incidents
or situations are likely to be expected at certain Customer
facilities around the world. The negative impact can be mitigated or
controlled through better understanding and recognizing the problem
and appropriate follow up action.
First step in the process of recognition is to assess and
catalogue (quality, location, responsibilities) what the Customer
site currently have in place in terms of:
- Mains power supply -
IB1006-1 (pdf/130kb)
- UPS (back-up) and load definition;
- Electrical earthing / grounding;
- Lightning protection;
- Environmental conditions of the IDU (indoor unit);
Second step in the process is full examination of the site
using a standard protocol
and rectifying situations that are in error, but only if reasonably
possible. Alternatively, if rectification is not immediately
possible, NWNS will make recommendations how to improve situations
that are not meeting the basic standards and requirements.
Final step in the process is a standard report summarizing
results and recommendations.
