Installation report
Attendees score should be at least 75% in order to pass the course.
UTI License and Installer ID
UTI license is required for all installers in order to perform IPSTAR user terminal
installation.
The followings are conditions:
All installers require to attend User Terminal Installation training course or certificate
program provided by your service provider (SP) or Thaicom.
Installers require to take the UTI examination in which 75% is needed in order to pass
the course.
Thaicom will provide license for those who have passed the examination. Installer ID
and password will be granted within 1-2 weeks after the training.
Installer ID and password are for personal use ONLY.
Installer ID is valid for 2 years and can be renew automatically if meet criteria of
installation quality.
Installation performance will be evaluated based on individual installer ID. If the
performance does not meet criteria of installation quality, the installer ID will be
subject to termination.
Installer ID is generally used in the following system:
IUAT job
Webpro for installers (UT monitoring and basic troubleshooting)

Module Objectives
At the end of the module the participant shall be able to:
Understand basic satellite communication
Define Thaicom-4 satellite coverage area
Describe IPSTAR system and IPSTAR link
Topics
Introduction to satellite communication

Geostationary Earth Orbit (GEO) satellite
Thaicom-4 footprint and coverage area
Introduction to IPSTAR system
Introduction to satellite communication

By definition, a satellite is the object that goes around a larger object.
Example of natural satellite is a moon.
Satellite communication is a communication system that uses satellite
as the center for transmission between two ground terminal stations
which are at a distance away from each other.
A communication satellite:
It is held in space by orbital mechanics.
It receives microwave signals from one point of the earth,
amplifies the received signal, and re-transmits the signal to
another part of the earth.
Geostationary Earth Orbit (GEO) Satellite

GEO satellite is positioned at approximately 36,000
kilometers or 22,300 miles above the earth surface.
GEO satellite is aligned with the equator and
appears to be fixed over one spot above the
equator.

Where is Thaicom-4 satellite ?

Thaicom-4 is a geostationary satellite which is positioned at 119.5 degree east.

Footprint of Thaicom-4
By definition, footprint is the geographic area towards which a satellite downlink
antenna directs its signal or conversely the area from which the satellite is visible
from the surface of the earth.
Thaicom-4 satellite :
Footprint of Thaicom-4 is usually called as Beam.
Thaicom-4s beams cover 14 countries in South
Asia, Asia Pacific and Oceanic region.
Thaicom-4 : Beams
There are 4 types of beams.

o Standard Spot beam (84 beams)
o Augment Spot beam (8 beams)
o Shape beam (3 beams)
o Broadcast beam (7 beams)

How location in the footprint (beam) is related with the power

of received signal
An earth station which is located at the

center of the beam has an advantage on
the received and transmitted signal
compared to another located at the edge
of the beam.
