Andrew 3.7m antennas de-installed in Berlin, Germany
A challenging project in Berlin! Our team de-installed three Andrew 3.7m antennas from a 6-story building in Berlin, Germany. We had to arrange a large tower crane to be able to reach the far edges of the roof. Dismantling of the antennas could be done on the parking lot and we used a dedicated flatbed trailer for transportation to our facility for refurbishment. The project was successfully executed in April 2013.
Andrew Corporation was the owner of Andrew Satellite Communications business and in 2001 formed into ASC Signal Corporation that was acquired by CPI in September 2015. ASC Signal was integrated into the CPI Antenna Systems Division as of 2017 when in 2020 the ASC Signal Antenna division was sold to Kratos Defense & Security. CPI had acquired GDSatcom Technologies in 2019, but the U.S. Justice Department required CPI to divest its ASC Signal Division since there would be a monopoly on the antenna business in the USA.
