TRAINING REGULATIONS – BROADBAND INSTALLATION (FIXED WIRELESS SYSTEM) NC II Page 30
15) National Certificate (NC) – is a certification issued to individuals who achieve
all the required units of competency for a national qualification defined under
the Training Regulations. NCs are aligned to specific levels within the PTQF
17) Qualification - is a cluster of units of competencies that meets job roles and is
significant in the workplace. It is also a certification awarded to a person on
successful completion of a course in recognition of having demonstrated
competencies in an industry sector
20) Resource Implications - refers to the resources needed for the successful
performance of the work activity described in the unit of competency. It
includes work environment and conditions, materials, tools and equipment
21) Basic Competencies - are the skills and knowledge that everyone needs for
work
22) Training Regulations (TR) – refers to the document promulgated and issued
by TESDA consisting of competency standards, national qualifications and
training guidelines for specific sectors/occupations. The TR serves as basis
for establishment of qualification and certification under the PTQF. It also
serves as guide for development of competency-based curricula and
instructional materials including registration of TVET programs offered by
TVET providers
24) Underpinning Skills - refers to the list of the skills needed to achieve the
elements and performance criteria in the unit of competency. It includes
generic and industry specific skills

SPECIFIC
3) Base Transceiver Station (BTS) - contains the equipment for transmitting and
receiving of radio signals (transceivers), antennas, and equipment for
encrypting and decrypting communications with the Base Station Controller.
4) Bit - a single unit of data, either a one or a zero. In the world of broadband, bits
are used to refer to the amount of transmitted data. A kilobit (Kb) is approx.
1,000 bits. A megabit (Mb) is approximately 1,000,000 bits.
11) FTP (foil screened twisted pair) - is a cable containing multiple pairs of copper
wire enclosed in a sheath of aluminum foil. It's used in wiring systems in
buildings or other environments where heavy noise adjacent to the wire might
cause interference.

TRAINING REGULATIONS – BROADBAND INSTALLATION (FIXED WIRELESS SYSTEM) NC II Page 42
13) Line-of-Sight (LoS) propagation - refers to electro-magnetic radiation
traveling in a straight line. The rays or waves are deviated or reflected by
obstructions and cannot travel over the horizon or behind obstacles. Beyond
that, material disperses the rays respectively the energy of the waves.
20) Transceiver - is a device that has both a transmitter and a receiver which are
combined and share common circuitry or a single housing.
22) UTP (unshielded twisted pair) - cable which is not surrounded by any
shielding and often called as Ethernet cable.
23) World Wide Web - (commonly shortened to the Web) is a system of inter-
linked hypertext documents accessed via the Internet. With a Web browser, a
user views Web pages that may contain text, images, videos, and other
multimedia and navigates between them using hyperlinks.
