SATCOM Technologies' 6.3 and 7.3-Meter antennas are field-proven for transmission and receive or receive only applications. The Model 6.3 meter antenna delivers exceptional performance for C- through Ka-band and is type approved with Intelsat, AsiaSat and Hispasat. The Model 7.3-Meter antenna excels in L- through DBS communications frequencies. Both antennas feature easy-to-assemble, bolt-together aluminum reflectors and galvanized steel kingpost pedestals to provide the required stiffness for pointing and tracking accuracy. The pedestals are designed for full orbital arc coverage and are readily adaptable to ground or rooftop installations.

SATCOM Technologies' 9.0 meter antenna delivers exceptional performance for transmit and receive and receive only applications for L- through Ka-band frequencies. This antenna offers a reflector design that incorporates precision-formed panels, truss radials and hub assembly using matched tooling for interchangeable components. The antenna offers an innovative Cassegrain feed and subreflector design which results in high gain, low noise temperature, high antenna efficiency and excellent rejection of noise and microwave interference. A large center hub provides spacious accommodation for equipment mounting. The reflector is supported by a galvanized elevation over azimuth kingpost pedestal that provides the required stiffness for pointing and tracking accuracy. The pedestals are designed for full orbital arc coverage and are readily adaptable to ground or rooftop installations.

All of the RTG antennas are compliant with FCC 25.209 regulations, ITU-RS-580 sidelobe specifications and Intelsat (F3) and Eutelsat requirements.
