Antenna Installation & Commissioning Services

We provide complete turnkey solutions for ground earth station antenna systems, ensuring precision engineering, structural integrity, and optimal RF performance in full compliance with international standards and manufacturer specifications. Our expertise covers C band, Ku band, and Ka band antenna systems, supporting a wide range of commercial, broadcast, and government applications.

In addition to fixed ground stations, we specialize in the installation, commissioning, and maintenance of maritime satellite communication systems, including advanced stabilized antennas from Intellian Technologies deployed on vessels. Our marine solutions ensure reliable connectivity at sea through precise alignment, automated tracking, and robust integration with onboard communication networks.

A successful antenna installation begins with a comprehensive site survey and engineered foundation design.

  • Conduct detailed site inspection including line-of-sight analysis and environmental assessment
  • Verify soil bearing capacity and foundation requirements
  • Prepare reinforced concrete foundation based on structural engineering specifications
  • Install grounding system and lightning protection
  • Ensure precise anchor bolt alignment and leveling tolerances

A stable and accurately constructed foundation is essential for long-term antenna pointing stability and operational reliability.

All components are carefully unpacked, inspected, and assembled in accordance with manufacturer guidelines.

  • Inspection of reflector panels for deformation or shipping damage
  • Assembly of antenna mount, pedestal, and structural components
  • Installation of reflector panels with precise torque control
  • Feed system and OMT installation
  • Waveguide and cabling routing with proper grounding

Special care is taken to maintain mechanical accuracy to prevent pointing deviation and structural stress.

Accurate alignment ensures maximum signal transmission and reception performance.

  • Rough pointing based on calculated azimuth and elevation angles
  • Fine tuning using satellite beacon signals
  • Optimization of feed positioning for maximum gain
  • Verification of polarization alignment

Precision alignment is critical, especially for high-frequency systems such as Ka-band antennas.

For motorized or tracking systems, we integrate and configure the Antenna Control System (ACS) to ensure accurate and automated satellite tracking.

  • Installation of azimuth and elevation drive motors
  • Integration of control units and encoders
  • Configuration of tracking parameters
  • System calibration for automated precision pointing

We have experience working with systems from Norsat International Inc. and other leading manufacturers.

Comprehensive testing ensures the antenna meets operational and regulatory standards before handover.

Initial Verification

  • Mechanical inspection and torque verification
  • Confirmation of correct feed and RF chain installation
  • Safety checks including grounding and electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions

Pointing Accuracy

  • Calibration using satellite beacon signals
  • Tracking verification to ensure high-precision aiming
  • Confirmation of stable lock under operational conditions

Radiation Pattern Measurement

Using a spectrum analyzer and beacon signals:

  • Measure 3 dB beamwidth in azimuth and elevation
  • Verify antenna gain performance
  • Confirm compliance with manufacturer specifications

Cross-Polarization Isolation

A critical performance validation to ensure:

  • Proper polarization alignment
  • Isolation of opposing polarization signals
  • Prevention of interference with adjacent satellite services

EIRP & G/T Validation

We perform RF performance measurements to ensure system compliance:

  • Effective Isotropic Radiated Power (EIRP) validation for uplink performance
  • G/T (Gain-to-Noise Temperature) measurement for downlink sensitivity
  • Verification of link budget parameters

End-to-End Testing

Final operational validation is conducted in coordination with the satellite operator to confirm:

  • Full uplink and downlink functionality
  • Signal stability
  • Compliance with network performance requirements

We ensure that every antenna installation - from small VSAT systems to large teleport-class earth stations - is delivered with precision engineering, rigorous testing, and strict adherence to international standards.
