Trevor Manning: Author, Trainer and Consultant
Did you know that many of the mainstream beliefs about microwave radio are in fact wrong?
This world-renowned microwave radio masterclass, combines my real-world experience as propagation researcher, radio planner, design engineer, field manager and manufacturer. The training is based on my best selling classic textbook ‘Microwave Radio Transmission Design Guide’, as well as the more recently published ‘Microwave Radio Handy Reference Guide.’
Professor Andy Sutton: Microwave and millimetre wave radio systems provide vital connectivity for a growing range of industries and sectors; although to achieve the optimal performance it is essential that engineers and technicians are properly trained! Training in wireless communications involves much more than simply attending manufacturer’s equipment specific courses, knowledge must be built on a firm foundation. Having known Trevor for several decades I can say without a doubt that his microwave and millimetre wave radio training courses provide something for everyone; from beginner to experienced radio planning engineer, you won’t be disappointed. Principal Network Architect , BT
The Masterclass covers analogue radio theory, not often taught today, combined with the latest baseband digital technology incorporated into current radio equipment. The course will help to unravel the mysteries of the confusing standards, as well as dispel the many myths and inaccuracies that abound in the industry. The training is very practical and includes detailed analysis of the design calculations as well as the many propagation anomalies that cause fading effects.
Included in the course are:
- Industry overview and update
- Authoritative overview of microwave fundamentals
- Link planning and design
- Microwave propagation and fading analysis
- Antennas and frequency planning
- Hardware considerations and equipment advances
The course will benefit anyone who is a radio planner, NOC engineer, field technician or technology manager.
Steve Simpson: I have been in the Microwave industry for over 30 years and have known Trevor for over 20 years, both as my direct Line Manager and as an Instructor/Teacher on his Transmission Planning Masterclass. As a paid student on Trevors Microwave Planning course his knowledge is unsurpassed and to this day I still view him to be the leader in this business area. Not only has Trevor Planned and Supported large scale Microwave networks for major telecom operators, he has obtained in depth knowledge of 1st, 2nd and 3rd line product support, backed up with a direct link to the R&D and Marketing line there isn't an area of Microwave or Transmission where Trevor cannot advise on. The thing I enjoyed about the course was the opening introduction of "What is your level of knowledge of the subject ?" and "What do you want to get out of this course" Trevor didn't fail to deliver on either of these and the material was pitched at the correct levels for all students.

Martin Gallagher: “On numerous occasions Surecom have benefited from Trevor’s technical microwave training courses. I am more than happy to report, that we always receive exceptionally positive feedback from our employees, both on course content and delivery. More importantly post course, I have observed growth in our employees’ technical confidence and application.
For anyone with an interest in either individual or team’s Microwave knowledge development, Trevor’s training is a must! His practical knowledge and training delivery are second to none and he has my highest recommendation.” CEO, Surecom NS

Portfolio Strategy Manager, Ericsson ‘A lot has happened to microwave over the years, with a lot still emerging. This book has managed to provide a comprehensive overview of both old and new, which is not an easy task’. August 2019 Oliver Bosshard Coo, Real Wireless 'An easy-read for all new planners, but also a great reference handbook for experienced planners. A good balance of theory and real-world, practical considerations'. August 2019 Adrian Grilli
Associate, European Utility Telecoms Council ‘I would not often describe a book on microwave radio systems as a “page turner”, but I found I wanted to keep reading’. August 2019 Lloyd Mphahlele General manager transport, MTN ‘This book truly covers the A-Z of microwave planning. The advice, if followed, would make microwave networks a lot more reliable and trusted than what they are today’. August 2019 Paul Kennard Senior Consultant, McKay Brother International ‘Extremely effective "how-to" for microwave link design. An expert mix of practical experience and background theory. Good for the new engineer or the experienced professional’. August 2019 |
