VertexRSI 9.0m Antenna Pedestal installed on foundation at ESA in Redu, Belgium
A VertexRSI 9.0m Antenna Pedestal installed on foundation at ESA in Redu, Belgium for SES satellite operator.
Skybrokers refurbished and installed a VertexRSI 9.0m Earth Station Antenna for satellite operator SES at the ESA teleport facility in Redu, Belgium. Since SES already had the VertexRSI 9m Satellite Antenna in stock, we were requested to refurbish it on location and install it.
In three weeks our team performed refurbishment (cleaning and painting) and Skybrokers installed a VertexRSI 9m antenna for SES at ESA in Redu Belgium successfully in November 2018.
SES is the world’s second-largest telecommunications satellite operator by revenue and operates a fleet of more than 55 satellites able to reach 99% of the World’s population. These satellites provide satellite communication services to businesses and government agencies, and broadcast TV and radio channels to audiences worldwide. SES satellites carry more than 6,200 TV channels (including over 1.800 in HD) and more than 40 direct-to-home (DTH) platforms across the world. SES satellites reach almost 300 million TV homes worldwide.
Originally founded in 1985 as Société Européenne des Satellites, the company was renamed SES Global in 2001 and in 2006 renamed SES. SES S.A. is based in Betzdorf, Luxembourg and is listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and Euronext Paris.
