Skybrokers delivered and installed a refurbished Viasat 7.7m antenna at CYTA on Cyprus

For an urgent project we had to deliver a 7m antenna to Cyprus for CYTA. The client inspected the antenna that we had in the USA and requested us to deliver and install it at CYTA’s Makarios Teleport in Larnaca, Cyprus. Our installation team performed the installation with a tight deadline in before Christmas in 2010. The antenna was successfully commissioned in January 2011.
