Winegard... Granted Another Homologation (SATCOM)


[SatNews] Winegard Company has received government approval from the Peru MTC for its...

...WX980 and WX1200 VSAT antenna systems and controllers. The Peru Homologation Certificate verifies that products meet specific safety standards for the clearance of customs and sale inside the nation of Peru. This means the two Winegard VSAT antenna systems and controllers can now be sold throughout the country and, potentially, in other South American markets.. Homologation means to confirm or sanction the validity of a product or item.

Winegard is a major U.S. manufacturer of reliable VSAT (very small aperture terminal) satellite communications systems frequently used in remote locations. The .98 meter (dish diameter) WX980 and the 1.2 meter (dish diameter) W1200 VSAT systems and their controllers are primarily deployed on the roofs of emergency vehicles, disaster recovery vehicles, satellite news gathering vehicles, tour buses and trailers often in extreme environments. Winegard VSAT systems and controllers are operational worldwide, including countries such as Canada, United Arab Emirates, South Africa, Egypt, Iraq, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Columbia and Mexico.
