Ground Station Antenna Systems Preventive Maintenance

Satellite antennas, of any size, cannot maintain their reliable performance levels if they are not inspected and maintained on a regular basis. This is fact. Antenna manufacturers thrive on commercial earth station negligence of their antennas and antenna resources through antenna jackscrew replacements and general overall antenna refurbishments of enormous expense. Your antennas can remain operational for 20, 30, 40+ years if they are attended to in the proper fashion, and this is what DiOrio Communications Group does for it's customers.

Successful, reliable earth stations take great care in maintaining their antennas for a long life. Again and again, we are visiting many well-known international telecommunications companies for our day-to-day service calls, and brief inspections of the earth station antennas continuously reveal severe problems, which are jeopardizing their reliable transmission link. Once your antenna is out of operation, your customer's service is down, and your revenue has stopped.

In Depth - In Detail:

RF Radiation Leak Verifications (Waveguides will leak, Gaskets will turn Brittle)

Waveguide Pressurization Leaks (If RF is leaking - AIR IS LEAKING)

Jack Inspections (Backlash removed in the process)

Backlash Adjustments

Bearing Tolerances Measured & Verified

Anti-Roll Adjusted

ACU Tracking Parameters Verified

Limit Switches Tested

Pointing Accuracy Verified

Resolver/Encoder couplings Inspected

Hub Environmentals Tested

Reflectors, Back-up Structures, Hub Areas, Pedestals & All Platforms Pressur Cleaned

We'll even tune your waveguide if you've got a VSWR problem (Which We'll Measure During the PM)

Everything associated with the antenna will be inspected - if a problem is identified, it will be corrected on the spot, or parts are ordered immediately to correct the problem.

DCG, does not simply grease your antenna jackscrews, we inspect your antenna's operational status at ALL levels, systems & subsystems as it currently stands. We will identify iminent problems. What will your customers have to say when they occur and their service goes down? Wait for contract renewal to find out.

Protect your investment and your customer's services.
