    Communication Systems

    Communication Systems are of the utmost importance whether it is for everyday operations or in an emergency situation.  Communications Systems are typically governed by federal/state legislation and are controlled by rigid guidelines within the region they are set-up.  They are dependent upon radio transmission and reception. Equipment can be hard wired, use radio waves or communicate via satellite.

    This course was designed to introduce participants to the different types of communication equipment and the operation of a transmitter and a receiver. It course covers radio frequency bands, the different media used to communicate information and the legislative regulations involved in telecommunications.  Participants will be exposed to the specific communication protocols that are used as well as some of the common communication equipment used in everyday plant operations.

    Upon completion of this course, participants will have a better understanding of the operation and importance of communications systems associated with oil and gas environments.  The knowledge that technicians gain from this course will be further expanded by on-job training and practical experience they will receive throughout the duration of their career.

    Day 1

    Telecommunication Equipment and Regulation

    • Types of communication systems
    • Transmitter and receiver operation
    • Radio frequency bands
    • Computer and internet systems
    • Satellite communication/telecommunication regulation

    On day one, participants will learn about the different types of communication systems used in industry and the basic operation of a transmitter and a receiver.   They will gain knowledge in radio frequency bands and the types of media used to transfer information through the telecommunication system. Since telecommunications are legislated by government, participants will be exposed to the general legal requirements in obtaining and using telecommunication systems.
