With over 50 years of experience, the National Telecommunications Institute (Inatel) is a center of excellence in teaching and research that has increasingly established itself, in Brazil and abroad, as a provider of great professionals for Engineering. We were the first educational institution in the country to offer a higher education course in Engineering with a focus on telecommunications. We are an educational institution maintained by the National Telecommunications Institute Foundation, a private non-profit organization. We offer undergraduate engineering courses, lato and stricto sensu postgraduate courses in the areas of technology, Master’s and Doctorate degrees in Telecommunications, and technology courses in the distance learning format. In addition to education projects, we transfer technology to the market, working in software and hardware development, in-person and distance continuing education, consulting, equipment calibration and testing with national and multinational partner companies, in addition to having strong relationships with companies in the Santa Rita do Sapucaí Technology Center, Minas Gerais.
