Skybrokers installed a refurbished RSI 9.2m Earth Station Antenna in Mexico for SpaceNet

Skybrokers delivered and installed a refurbished RSI (VertexRSI) 9.2m Earth Station Antenna in Mexico City in December 2014. The installation was performed by a two member installation team and took 2 weeks. The team had to adjust an existing foundation to save on time and costs. We used a water-cooled drill, chemical anchors and new threaded rods to prepare the foundation for this antenna. With great help of the customer and an amazing team with a 300 tonnes crane we finished this antenna project just before Christmas.
