Two used Andrew Satellite Earth Station Antennas installed at the former Taliándörögd Teleport in Hungary
In March 2024 Skybrokers was awarded a contract for the delivery and installation of two pre-owned Satellite Earth Station Antennas. A refurbed Andrew 7.3m and a 9.3m Satellite Antenna, both with new MCU/Tracking systems and RF cabling, were supplied and successfully installed and commissioned by an international project and installation group with engineers from Croatia, Macedonia and the UK. With great help from the local team, the installation was successfully finished in November 2024, at the former Taliándörögd Teleport in Hungary for an undisclosed customer.
