VertexRSI 9.0m Earth Station Antenna dismantled at the ESA Teleport in Redu, Belgium.

Two VertexRSI 9.0m Earth Station Antenna were removed in January from the ESA Redu facility in Belgium for satellite operator SES. In challenging weather conditions our four-member project and installation team took down, disassembled and packed the antenna parts for transportation with dedicated trucks. Both antennas were cleaned and checked-out at our Antenna facility in Holland and found a new home in the Ukraine and Cyprus.
