TAP Engineering Seminars

Dates of upcoming training

Charlottesville, VA and Louisville, KY

Since 1990 SoftWright has conducted engineering seminars for our clients.  The TAP Engineering seminar will be two full days of rf engineering instruction on how to design both coverage and path studies for VHF/UHF, paging, land mobile, PCS, cellular, SCADA, microwave and FM/TV broadcast transmitting facilities, intermodulation prediction and treatment as well as the Asset Management software. In the sessions, you will operate the Terrain Analysis Package (TAP) rf system design software to solve numerous RF related problems. There is also a strong emphasis on how to formulate necessary engineering judgments in order to successfully design reliable rf systems. Many actual land mobile and microwave radio system design problems will be used to teach how to apply both the engineering principles and Terrain Analysis Package software tools. If possible, please bring your notebook computer with TAP installed and fully operational for the training. If you do not yet have a license for your use, you will need to download and install our demo version to use for the training sessions. The location of the training can change depending upon the number of attendees that we have. We will make certain that all in attendance have the correct information prior to the seminar.

Credit for Technical Support

As an attendee of a training engineering seminar, you will be provided 30 minutes of technical support time at no additional cost to be used within twelve months of attending the seminar.

Hotel
You will need to make your own hotel reservations at a hotel of your choosing.

Cost
The appropriate fee must be paid in full two weeks prior to the seminar to guarantee your reservation. You will need exclusive use of a computer for the entire duration of the seminar. Please register on-line, e-mail or FAX your registration as soon as possible to reserve your space. Please register early, especially if you need us to invoice your company.

Cancellation or Rescheduling Your Participation Date
If cancellation of your registration is necessary, you may send an alternate attendee without forfeiting your fee.  If your cancellation is more than seven days prior to the scheduled training, you may reschedule at that time for an upcoming seminar up to one year in the future at no additional cost.  If cancellation is less than seven days prior to seminar date, you will receive a 50% credit from the seminar tuition cost paid.  This credit can be applied to the cost of a future training seminar within one year or other software products from SoftWright within one year. A no-show without your cancellation notification within the seven days prior to the seminar will mean that you will receive no refund of the paid tuition.
