Antenna installation & commissioning
Ground station antenna installation, from VSAT to 21M.
One crew for the whole job: we assemble, install, align and commission your antennas, then test them to spec before handover. Wherever your site is, we can be there fast.
Installation pros
Mechanically flawless. Tuned for peak RF performance.
Our field antenna engineers and mechanical technicians handle every step, from reflector assembly and sub-reflector alignment to system testing, gain calculations, commissioning and setup. The result is an antenna that’s built right and performs to spec on day one.
