Subnet Services is known as the only Fiber Optic Association (FOA) approved school in Metro Manila and the first to provide the Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) Pilot Technician Course in the Philippines. Hence, we have been a reputable company through the years when it comes to providing training courses in the fields of fiber optics and ROV. Likewise, we pride ourselves for having world-class instructors on board whose experiences, knowledge, and skills not to mention, educational and professional backgrounds are totally unparalleled.
Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) for underwater has been the partner in the offshore oil rig, underwater communication cable installations, and other major underwater constructions for safety installations and maintenance. ROV uses different sizes, from an observation class weighing less than 10kg to a work class ROV weighing 1 to a hundred tons in weight. Electrical power requirements of ROV increase from less than 1kw to a thousand kilowatts of power in relation to its class. The risks involved in electrical safety also increase without proper training in electrical safety awareness.
Over the last 20 years or so, ROV Pilots and Technicians have had to master more and more trades and skills. In these days of small operation teams, working with more complex systems, usually far from home, they are expected to keep all their equipment at 100% availability, as well as use their special skills in navigating their vehicles safely and surely around all the hazards of the subsea environment.
This September, we are kicking off the month with a brand new set of blog features. Subnet Services presents our first blog entry written by our very own fiber optics instructor, Ms. Prescy Acero. Join her as she discusses about Distributed Antenna System (DAS), its components, deployment, and importance in this age of wireless communication.
