SUMMARY:Designing for Uptime: Power Resilience for WISP Networks in Regional and Remote Australia
DESCRIPTION:Join Valen Power online to discuss power resilience for WISP Networks in regional and remote Australia. \nFor many wireless internet service providers\, network reliability is increasingly shaped by power infrastructure—not just radios and spectrum. \nAs WISP networks expand into regional and remote Australia\, operators are facing longer outages\, harsher environmental conditions\, limited site access\, and growing expectations around service continuity. \nThis webinar is designed for WISP operators and technical leaders looking for grounded\, field-tested insights into keeping networks online when access is difficult and reliability matters most. \n\nAbout Valen Power \nValen Power partners with network operators to design and support reliable power systems for critical communications and telecommunications infrastructure. With experience across regional and remote Australia\, Valen Power delivers practical backup\, hybrid\, and off-grid solutions that help keep networks online when access is limited and reliability matters most. \nFor more details on Valen Power products\, visit their website online here – https://valen.com.au/

SUMMARY:SOCI Workshop: CIRMP Security Maturity Assessment and Evaluation Framework
DESCRIPTION:Learn how to assess\, benchmark\, and strengthen the maturity of the security effect of your CIRMP. \nSummary \nThis workshop helps critical infrastructure entities assess\, benchmark\, and strengthen the maturity of the security effect of their Critical Infrastructure Risk Management Program (CIRMP) in line with the Security of Critical Infrastructure Act 2018. Learn how to evaluate your organisation’s protective security capabilities\, identify areas for improvement\, and demonstrate defensible\, evidence-based assurance to Boards and regulators of the effort made to improve protective security performance viewed through the CIRMP. \nEvent description \nA mature Critical Infrastructure Risk Management Program does not just exist — it evolves. \nUnder the Security of Critical Infrastructure Act 2018 (SOCI Act) and its subordinate Rules\, responsible entities must ensure their protective security arrangements are both effective and defensible. This workshop introduces a structured approach to measuring and improving CIRMP maturity\, providing Boards and executives with a transparent\, evidence-based understanding of how well their organisation’s security controls align with regulatory obligations\, and guiding decision-making about future investment in response to evolving threats. \nDrawing on Pentagram Advisory’s tailored CIRMP Security Maturity Assessment and Evaluation Model\, this session will guide participants through the principles of assessing current state\, identifying gaps\, prioritising uplift\, and demonstrating compliance through measurable outcomes. \nWhat you will learn \n• The purpose and value of a security maturity model for CIRMP assessment \n• How to evaluate organisational maturity across key protective security domains \n• How CIRMP maturity levels link to compliance with the SOCI Act and subordinate Rules \n• Approaches for benchmarking\, setting improvement goals\, and tracking progress \n• How to communicate maturity results effectively to Boards and regulators \n• How to embed continuous improvement and business-as-usual resilience practices \nKey takeaway \nBy the end of the session\, participants will understand how to assess and determine how best to improve their CIRMP maturity in a structured\, repeatable\, and transparent way. The framework supports critical infrastructure entities in meeting regulatory expectations\, building stakeholder confidence\, and driving continuous improvement across governance\, assurance\, and protective security functions. This approach informs CIRMP-aligned investment planning. \nTo register for this event – click here.

SUMMARY:TP-Link Omada and Wifi Presentation
DESCRIPTION:Join WISPAU and TP-Link online to discuss the Omada system. \nThe Omada ecosystem is a one-stop solution comprising several types of network devices\, all managed through a unified interface. \nAccess Points (APs): Provide business-class Wi-Fi with high performance and range\, including options for indoor\, outdoor\, ceiling-mount\, and wall-plate installations\, supporting Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 7 standards. \nSwitches: Offer flexible and cost-effective network solutions with powerful Layer 2 and Layer 3 features\, Power over Ethernet (PoE) options\, and multi-gigabit ports for wired connections. \nGateways (Routers): Boast excellent data processing capabilities\, multi-WAN load balancing\, and a variety of high-security VPN options (SSL\, IPsec\, PPTP\, L2TP\, OpenVPN) to ensure stable and secure connectivity. \nControllers: Act as the command center for the entire network. Users can choose between a free Software Controller (requires a PC/server to run)\, a dedicated Hardware Controller (e.g.\, TP-Link Omada OC200 or OC300)\, or a subscription-based Cloud-Based Controller for zero-touch provisioning and remote management. \nJoin Kurt Liu \, TP-Link Project Channel Account Manager online to discuss how the Omada system can be used to deliver managed services and connectivity to small to enterprise businesses. \n\nKurt Liu

SUMMARY:ARCIA: Microwave Engineering Masterclass [Online short course] August 2026
DESCRIPTION:Learn how to Plan\, Design and Operate Radio Networks. \nMicrowave radio as a technology has been around for decades\, but over the years it has transitioned from analogue to digital transmission systems and we have seen huge advances in equipment characteristics. This mix of old and new has resulted in a lot of confusion\, with this course unravelling the mysteries of these multiple industry myths. \nAt the end of this course\, you will understand the overall microwave market with an update on current and future developments\, including how to apply the latest planning standards. \nMicrowave propagation is still analogue\, and an in-depth understanding of microwave propagation and the various fading effects from weather variations is essential to designing\, operating and maintaining a stable network. The new hardware improvements and features will be covered\, as well as an in-depth look at antennas and the effects of interference in a digital network. \nThere are lots of opportunities to apply the theory with practical examples and tutorials using a training calculator that has all the basic formulas that are embedded in industry planning software tools. This allows the participants to understand the input parameters to industry planning tools plus what the output sheets really mean. \nCourse delivery: Online\nDate: 24 – 28 August 2026\nTime: 10.00 am – 12.30 pm AEST\nDuration: 5 x 2.5hr sessions (12.5hrs total)\nCost: ARCIA Members = $1320 +GST; Non-member = $1650 +GST\nTrainer: Trevor Manning\, TMC Global \nTickets are limited to just 20 seats\, so book quickly to avoid disappointment. \nCourse Details\nTarget Audience: \nTransmission design and planning engineers\nMaintenance technicians and network operational staff\nMicrowave vendors and consultants\nManagers and project managers who want an authoritative overview of microwave design and operation \nKey Topics Covered: \nAn industry update on what’s new in microwave radio\nFundamentals of microwave and mmWave\nSafety of microwave radio signals\nPlanning considerations using Digital Terrain tools\nPractical considerations for site builds\, including passive repeaters\nSite and link survey techniques\nEquipment characteristics\, including modulation schemes and fading countermeasures\nAntennas and frequency planning\nLink design and reliability calculations from a real-world perspective \nProvided Course Materials: \nMasterclass Workbook – A dedicated space for students to complete course notes covering key concepts.\nMicrowave Radio Handy Reference Guide by Trevor Manning – The latest edition of a reference guide for designers\, planners and operators of microwave radio systems and equipment.\nN.B: Whilst every effort will be made to ensure that course attendees booked by 10 August 2026\, receive their materials (course handbook hard copy and Trevor Manning’s Microwave Engineering Handy Reference Guide book) prior to the start date\, it cannot\, unfortunately\, be guaranteed. For those booked after this date\, the handbook will be emailed for participants to print and the book will be sent\, but could arrive post-course. \nCourse Certification: \nUpon completing the course\, students will receive a digital Certificate of Attendance.\nAfter passing the course assessment\, students will be awarded a digital Certificate of Competency. \nBook now here >>
