Earth Station Satcom Antennas
Critical to the performance and reliability of any satellite network, Earth Station Antennas are used by satellite network operators as the primary interface between their satellite constellations and terrestrial networks, such as the internet or corporate wide area networks.
Earth station antennas are large aperture satellite dishes that form the gateway component of a satellite network and are installed at centralised teleport facilities with good access to terrestrial fibre optic or microwave connectivity. Earth station antennas are an essential component of satellite networks that often require specialist teleport and ground station NOC facilities. These facilities offer earth station antennas the support of specialised operation and maintenance personnel, and redundancies across electrical systems, fibre optic connectivity and RF chains on the uplink and downlink paths.
