I also worked with SDH, Martis, Mini Link and PCom microwave.

Furthermore, I also worked with PIC microcontrollers while at nelson Mandela Metropolitan University, programming it using C language and mnemonics. The system I worked with is PCI cards for data acquisition and system control in which I employed LabView as programming software while doing my B.Tech industrial project IV.
