SOLiD is sponsoring and leading teaching sessions during the Certified In-Building Engineering Technologist (CIBET) training and certification initiative which takes place September 24 28 in Denver, CO. The program will provide a foundation of knowledge to the in-building radio frequency (RF) engineering community by exposing participants both industry newcomers and veterans to the scientific principles associated with Distributed Antenna System (DAS) deployments through a combination of lecture and hands-on lab experience. Held in conjunction with the Interdisciplinary Telecommunications Program at the University of Colorado at Boulder, students will, upon successful completion of the course exam, receive three continuing education credits.
The CIBET program is comprised of lectures and demonstrations from equipment manufacturers and system integrators designed to share practical deployment experiences for addressing unique and challenging venue requirements, merging indoor and outdoor environments, DAS noise impacts, interference sources, mitigation techniques and public-safety waveforms, networks and regulations. An optional workshop curriculum includes DAS deployment fundamentals such as RF propagation, waveforms and signals, link budget analysis, RF coverage, and confidence and capacity planning.
As DAS deployments become increasingly complex to support large-scale projects consisting of multiple wireless operators, high bandwidth capacity needs, convergence of both indoor and outdoor coverage spaces and public-safety communications, the level of sophistication required of the RF engineers who design, install and manage these networks similarly increases, said Seth Buechley, President of SOLiD. The first of its kind, the certification program through the CIBET Initiative ensures that current and future RF engineers will possess the sharpest skillsets to deploy and support mission-critical DAS networks.
SOLiD will train students on filtering techniques required for multi-service DAS deployments in which RF signals used by commercial cellular providers and public-safety communications services need to be properly isolated. SOLiD will also explore how DAS network technology and architecture will likely evolve into a single, all-fiber communications platform on which to plug in myriad services including cellular, public safety, WiFi and other applications such as RFID, building automation and more.
