AIS Representative guest lecture on telecommunications systems to 2nd year ICE program students
AIS Representative guest lecture on telecommunications systems to 2nd year ICE program students On September, 26, 2017, Khun Montakarn Ahkuputra, Khun Rakpong Chongchiranont and Khun Pongtep Cheanudomsa from AIS Technical Service Development Department were invited as guest Lecturers for Introduction to Information and communication Engineering class. The goal of the lecture was to introduce students to the field of telecommunications systems and engineering and to inspire students to develop curiosity and interest in this field. For this activity, students were divided into 2 groups : Khun Pongtep Cheanudomsa gave a lecture on the basics of 3G/4G telecommunication, core network, transmission and radio network to the first group of students. The second group of students visited node B at the roof top of Building 4 and was led by Khun Rakpong Chongchiranont, who briefed the students on the hardware used in telecommunications systems. The students asked a lot of questions and the activity almost ran overtime. We hope to invite AIS again to share their technical knowledge and experience with ICE students in the near future
