Skybrokers de-installs a teleport with 5 antennas in New York City USA
Over the course of three weeks Skybrokers technicians de-installed five large Earth Station antennas (VertexRSI 6.1m, VertexRSI 7.2m, Andrew 7.3m, VertexRSI 9.0m and a RSI 9.2m) in New York City, USA.
In April 2016 the team was tasked to dismantle, loading into ocean going containers and clean up the site. This project was subject to detailed planning and logistics. We could not have done this without the help of our logistic partners and local help. Special thanks to John Knight of CTS Media who made this project happen.
Antennas were transported to our antenna facility in Europe for detailed refurbishment. The majority of the antennas found a new home in Greenland, Italy, UK and Cyprus.
