Skybrokers installed a refurbished Andrew 7.6m antenna at Hellas-Sat Teleport on Cyprus

Skybrokers delivered and installed an used and refurbished Andrew 7.6m earth station antenna with upgraded ACS3000 tracking at Hellas-Sat Teleport on Cyprus. The project coordination and installation, including RF testing, were successfully performed by a two member installation team and took 3 weeks in May 2017. Although the system was commissioned successfully, the antenna was mis-performing after some weeks. Our technicians made all efforts to fix the problems and after some days of fault-finding and parts replacement, the antenna was performing within specifications.
