Skybrokers de-installed a VertexRSI 9m Earth Station Antenna at Reuters in Geneva, Switzerland in November 2015. The de-installation was performed by a three member installation team and was part of a de-commissioning project of two antennas. Special thanks to John Knight of CTS Media who made this project happen. The antenna was checked out and refurbished in our facility in Europe and found a new home in India.
