Skybrokers de-installed 30+ antennas at DMC Amsterdam, The Netherlands
In January 2018 Skybrokers conducted its largest project to date by de-installing five earth station antennas (2x Andrew 4.5m & 3x Andrew 5.6m antennas) and 25+ VSAT antennas from a 4-story office building in Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
This challenging project took two weeks with incredible help of the customer and contractors. The majority of the VSAT antennas were scrapped and metal was recycled. The Earth Station Antennas were disassembled and transported back to our facility in Central Europe where they will be completely refurbished and prepared for re-installation.
