Skybrokers delivered a refurbished Andrew 7.6m Satellite Antenna
In September 2022 AXESS Networks contracted Skybrokers to deliver an Andrew 7.6m Satellite Antenna to their Teleport in Ruppichteroth, close to Bonn in Germany. We supplied a refurbished Earth Station Antenna to include new motors and hardware kits. The customer, with great help of Markus, Mauricio, Johnny and Sergey, successfully installed and commissioned the antenna under our supervision, end of November 2022.
AXESS Networks is a new leading global player in the enterprise satellite communications industry. The company provides turnkey solutions and is currently operating three Teleports in Colombia, Mexico and Germany. The German Teleport facility was formerly known as CETel that merged with AxeSat from Latin America in 2019 to become AXESS Networks EMEA in 2020. Satellite operator HispaSat from Spain acquired AXESS Networks in March 2022.
