A training workshop on digital physical control and strategies for real-time data transmission is underway in Lodja, Democratic Republic of Congo. The workshop, which started on September 29, 2026, is being held at the Institut supérieur technique du Sankuru (ISTAN). The event is led by Jean-Dénis Ikala Ikala, director of Dinacope Sankuru 1. The primary objective of the workshop is to equip participants with skills in digital physical control and real-time data transmission.
The evaluation exercise involved 33 antennas of Dinacope Sankuru 1, with their heads and operators presenting and defending the knowledge they acquired during the training session. The evaluation was conducted by trainers Jacques Kabasu and Albert Tete Mbodiembо. The exercise aimed to assess the level of preparedness of the participants before the next physical digital control operations. The participants demonstrated their understanding of the topics covered during the training.
The training workshop focused on preparing antenna heads and their operators to effectively carry out physical digital control and transmit data in real-time during upcoming operations. The participants were drawn from various antennas of Dinacope Sankuru 1. The training is part of efforts to enhance the capacity of stakeholders involved in physical digital control.
Jean-Dénis Ikala Ikala and Jean-Pierre Grégory Boloma Patsu Bofeko expressed satisfaction with the training and the level of knowledge demonstrated by the participants. They commended the participants for their active participation and enthusiasm during the evaluation exercise. The next step in the training process is the issuance of participation certificates.
The evaluation exercise was a crucial step in assessing the effectiveness of the training program. It provided an opportunity for participants to apply the knowledge and skills they acquired during the training. The exercise also enabled the trainers to identify areas that require further attention.
The training program is part of a broader effort to enhance the capacity of stakeholders involved in physical digital control in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The program aims to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of physical digital control operations. It is expected to contribute to better data management and transmission.
The workshop and evaluation exercise were conducted under the auspices of the Radio-Télévision nationale congolaise. The event was reported by Jean Claude Kopami, who was present at the workshop. The participants have demonstrated their readiness to carry out their responsibilities effectively.
