North American Cable Equipment will offer an NAS MFH-1 SBCA

Certification Class Jan. 10 and 11 at its Las Vegas office during CES,

the company announced last week.

The course, intended to give installers an inside look at the latest

NAS satellite technology developments, will cover topics ranging from equipment specs, to signal calculations, to design types, to off air HD and UHF integration. Participants will also complete a hands-on set up project.

NAS systems offer the ability to distribute all five DirecTV orbital

slots, off air, CATV, and high speed Internet through one cable

connection. Certification in this technology will be required by

DIRECTV, NAS, and a number of equipment distributors starting in 2007.

NACE recommends that attendees have completed the SBCA Level 3

commercial class as well as the MFH1 prerequisites before signing up

for the $299 course.
