...designed for their VSAT antennas. The skid-deployed VSAT antenna systems deliver rapid deployment, and high-availability broadband connections in a rugged, portable package. “Skid-deployed antennas are in increasing demand because they can easily be transported from site to site as needed; enabling IT managers to allocate bandwidth as changes in demand occurs, “ said Jon Manley, Director of Engineering and Business Development for Winegard. “Our skid-deployed antennas do not require a skilled technician to set up and deploy, thus offering the lowest total cost of deployment.” Winegard’s new skid-deployed systems feature the following benefits:
- Portability—Designed to be moved from site to site
- Durability—The skid acts as a protective barrier from damage, weather and other hazards. They operate in winds exceeding 50 mph and in temperatures of -40˚F to 127˚F, making them extremely rugged and durable
- Easy Maneuverability—Eyelets are positioned on the skid so that a fork lift or crane can easily lift the unit in and out of the truck
- Effortless Deployment—A unique gas-strut lift mechanism raises and lowers the antennas and requires minimal force from operator to adjust
- Fully Customizable—Winegard designs and manufactures custom skids to accommodate any size antenna for any application
