Skybrokers delivered a refurbished Andrew 7.3m antenna to SES/O3b in Chad, Africa
In July 2018 satellite operator SES/O3b requested Skybrokers to support them with an urgent project in Chad, Africa. We had to provide a 7 to 8m C-band antenna with motorization and tracking. Since we are stocking antennas, we could easily support this request and an Andrew 7.3m Antenna System was completely refurbished and packed for Airfreight to Africa. A local crew conducted the installation and antenna was successfully commissioned in October 2018.
