Today, I went on a company visit to
Advance Science and Technologies Institute (ASTI) DOST. This was located at the boundary of UP Diliman.
What I learned?
The ASTI have two groups these are the “Embedded Technologies” and “Bayanihan Linux”. The embedded introduce their projects and technologies that they made. Also they offer affordable and customable solutions, services and products that suits the needs of its customer. The technologies they have was GSM Data Terminal, PicMe Microcontroller Starter Kit, GSM/GPRS Data Acquisition Terminal, Digital Wood Mositure Meter (DWMM) and Digital Multi Meter. They also have ongoing projects. These are ICT for the Environment Program, Early Warning System for Tsunami, Solar Powered Version, AC Powered Version, PREDICT and Field Monitoring System.
The second group was the Bayanihan Linux. They have many achievements about their operating system called Bayanihan Linux. They have develop from version one to version five. The objective of their group was to provide alternative low-cost but effective desktop solution for use by the government. Their operating system was free and open source software (FOSS). The benefits of FOSS was cost effective , worldwide support and collaboration and customized and distributed.
What I liked?
ASTI fulfills us new technologies. In addition, they make me inspired to have my invention too.
What I didn’t like?
When we arrive in their company they don’t entertain us. They are not ready and other batch was waiting when we are inside.

Today, I went on a company visit to
Telecoms Training Institute located in Valenzuela. The buildings are old. The structure is also old in style. They have the radio laboratories which are not functioning but still it preserved and maintained its structure. We haven’t seen any trainee within the institution.
What I learned?
We learned technical terms during the time we visit Telecom. Two spoke persons impart and inculcate us the equipments, uses of those laboratories and give discussion to those machineries. SHF master station used to transmit information in distant places, clearing the signals and data to be transmitted. It has more than 50 km in capacity. UHF remote station has more than distance capacity around 600 km. In fact PLDT is using the UHF remote station because it is wired and connection oriented. They also introduce us the carrier wing laboratory with 19,000 sq meter land area. Still they talked about those things. Repeater is constructing below the ground with 1 to 3 kilometers in distance.
What I liked?
Since I am closely related to technologies because I studied short technical training last year, I appreciate their service in maintaining those equipments in spite of its old structure. We also enjoined the picture taking with the equipments and radio laboratory. I like the purpose of the institution, the knowledge they are partaking and the availability of employment they are taking part. The trainer is capable enough because of their higher experiences and expertise they had gain.
