Skybrokers de-installs antennas at WIT, the SES Americom Washington International Teleport in Washington DC, USA

In conjunction with our US partner we de-installed 10+ Earth Station Antennas at the Washington International Teleport (WIT) in Washington DC, USA. Andrew 5.6m, Andrew 7.6m as well as Vertex 9.0m, Vertex 16.4m and a Vertex 18.3m, a RSI 9.2m and 16.4m and a Scientific Atlanta (Viasat) 7.0m antenna were dismantled in the course of 8-10 weeks. Several antennas were sold quickly after local refurbishment, other were transported back to our US facility for further refurbishment. Big project with lots of credits to our US team!
