Trevor Manning:  Author, Trainer and Consultant

Learning about wireless digital transmission requires a thorough understanding of analogue RF principles coupled with the latest digital advances. The Microwave training courses are based on the book I recently published "Microwave Radio Handy Reference Guide”.  The training is about practical application of the concepts from years of field experience that includes both the operator and manufacturer aspects.

 
Standard training programs include: 

  • 3 day Microwave Radio Planning and Design  master class

  • 3 day Microwave Radio principles for field maintenance and Network Operations (NOC) staff


Liam Bingham 
Consultant - Senior Project Manager at NBN Co Limited Australia

"Before I had the pleasure of meeting Trevor I had read his book on microwave transmission design (which, along with P.530 I would recommend as a desktop aid to all aspiring microwave design engineers).  Trevor is concise, precise and focussed in his approach to business and working with him is always a pleasure."

     Dr Jonas Edstam,  
     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’.

     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'.

    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’.

    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’.

    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’.

Former Faculty Associate, Emeritus at University of Wisconsin - Madison USA

"I have personally known Trevor Manning since late 1999 when I recruited him to teach a continuing education “short course” for technical professionals in the telecommunications industry on point-to-point microwave radio planning here at the University of Wisconsin – Madison, College of Engineering. Since then, Trevor has taught 12 microwave planning short courses for the UW, the most recent in April 2008. In each he has demonstrated his very capable knowledge on the topic, and his strengths for conveying to students in an easily understood manner the rather technical topic of microwave propagation theory and planning. In fact, the programs in which he has taught in are some of the most highly-rated that I manage. 
I can without reservation highly recommend Trevor Manning as a qualified instructor and educator on technical topics and a professional with exceptional standards."
