ADPC Human Resources organizes Emergency
Telecommunication Course (27-28 March)
Telecom Sans Frontiers (TSF) provided training
to the ADPC staff on 27 & 28 March. The training
highlights were TSF response, generalities of
volunteering and overview of the existing
satellite technology. The first session was
followed by a practical session on being
familiar with different TSF satellite
equipments: - Satellite phone: MiniM (voice,
fax, data). - Satellite modem: RBGan (Internet,
email configuration). - Global Positioning
System, GPS. Since 2005, the partnership between
TSF and ADPC has been very successful. Joint
interventions like in the Philippines (Quezon
and Leyte), Thailand, Indonesia and Sri Lanka
were very effective and timely.
