Students of the Master in Telecommunication Engineering recently visited leading companies in Madrid and received professional sessions. The first activity consisted of a talk-colloquium at the new Postgraduate headquarters of the University of Navarra in Madrid, with Ramón Sáez, Head of the Alert Systems project of the National Cryptologic Center (CCN). 

The following day, the students visited the Anechoic Chambers of department of Signals, Systems and Radiocommunications of the ETSI de Telecomunicación of the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid. These facilities are at the forefront in the development of antenna measurement systems and development of complete communications systems based on software-radio platforms. Also in the ETSI of Telecommunication they made a visit to the Magic Box (Solar house and photovoltaic installations of the Institute of Solar Energy of the Polytechnic University of Madrid). 

That same day in the evening, at the Euskal Etxea in Madrid, the group attended the lecture: "Exploring the universe in search of its origin and life. Benefits of space exploration and scientific missions". 

The teachers who accompanied the students were Enrique Reina, Iñaki Sancho and Joaquín de Nó. Nicolás Serrano was also present at the sessions held at the IESE Business School.

Another of the visits made by the students of the Master in Telecommunications Engineering was to MDSCC(Madrid Deep Space Communications Complex), a NASA facility located near Madrid, which together with those of Canberra (Australia) and Goldstone (USA) make up its network Deep Space Communications. The center currently has six antennas of different diameters equipped to track space vehicles and probes and is the largest and most sensitive communications system in the world. 

The following quotation took place in the company Calle 30. This is the company that manages the operation, conservation and maintenance of the Calle 30 ring road in Madrid and the infrastructures and spaces around it. It has seven major junctions and more than fifty kilometers of tunnels, a work unparalleled in other European capitals. 

Finally, on Friday morning, students and teachers of the master's degree visited the facilities of Mediaset-Tele5. There they had the opportunity to go through the whole path of the audio and video signal of television, starting with its capture by cameras and microphones on the sets, followed by its composition in the corresponding audio and video control rooms, the production of news on the essay or the monitoring of all signals in the central control and, finally, the broadcasting of the different services. All of them as a training complement to subject Audiovisual Communication Systems, in which students simulate at scale the production of a live television program.
