Skybrokers relocated a VertexRSI 6.3m Earth Station Antenna for satellite operator Eutelsat from France.

In February 2024 Skybrokers secured a contract for relocation of a VertexRSI 6.3m antenna from the Skylogic teleport in Turin in Italy to Eutelsat’s Rambouillet Teleport facility near Paris in France. The Earth Station fitted on an existing foundation that was already adjusted. The antenna was cleaned and touched up, the isolation of the de-icing system was partially replaced and tested and the indoor 19inch equipment rack was re-wired by professional RF engineers. Our three-member project and installation team dismantled the antenna in May and re-installed and tested the antenna successfully in June 2024.

Eutelsat is one of world’s major satellite operators headquartered in Paris in France. The company operates more than 50 satellites used for broadcasting 5,800 TV’s, of which 600 are in HD, and 1,100 radio stations to over 250 million cable and satellite homes. In 2014 the company acquired satellite operator SATMEX from Mexico adding three Mexican satellites to their fleet. In 2022 Eutelsat became the first combined LEO/GEO satellite communications company when it merged with LEO satellite operator OneWeb to rename in Eutelsat Group. The company operates the Rambouillet Teleport, located south of Paris, the Torino (Turin) Teleport in Italy, the Cagliari Teleport on Sardinia (Italy), Eutelsat’s Madeira Teleport and the Eutelsat America’s teleport in Washington DC, USA.
