VertexRSI 6.3m Ku-band Antenna relocated from Skylogic/Eutelsat Torino to the Eutelsat Rambouillet Teleport in France

VertexRSI 6.3m Ku-band Antenna relocated from Skylogic/Eutelsat Torino to the Eutelsat Rambouillet Teleport in France.

Skybrokers secured a contract for relocation of a VertexRSI 6.3m antenna from the Skylogic teleport in Torino 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 and new limits, resolvers and cabling were provided. Our three-member project and installation team dismantled the antenna in May and re-installed and tested the antenna successfully mid 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. The company operates the Rambouillet Teleport, located south of Paris
