Can anyone recommend a BSS Billing Solution that has integrated well with Avanti OSS Newtec hub.

This picture below gives you an idea of how a satellite might move during the day.

The actual movement may be an ellipse and it may drift sideways slowly over a week or so. The view shown applies if you are on the same longitude as the satellite longitude. Elsewhere, the equator line will be tilted relative to your local ground horizon.

Ideally you want to aim a fixed dish at the centre of the intended stationkeeping box so that the satellite does not move too far from your beam centre.  If you call the satellite network operations centre they can tell you when the satellite is due to cross the equator, twice per day.  The east west position is more difficult as the satellite might drift sideways through the middle longitude less frequently, like weekly or longer.

If your dish is large enough that the -1 dB beamwidth is the same (or smaller) than the stationkeeping box then you need to point a fixed dish very accurately and tolerate twice daily peak degradations.

I have made a new page today that should hopefully show views of the world with elevation contours for geo satellite orbit positions.
Example:



Please say if you can suggest anything.

Go here: Geostationary satellite elevation map
to choose your own orbit position and also animation possibility for fun..

Best regards, Eric.

Could you please share with me how to interpret centre of box information. I have been given the task to select an appropriate time for the re-alignment of 6.3m antenna to the satellite and the satellite operator has shared with me the COB. I'm still learning. I await your kind feedback.

Vertex 9m antenna for sale.  Ku band. 4 port. Available 1 June 2020, complete with tracking controller, motors and LNAs

Our own crew are taking down this Ku band Vertex 9m antenna.

We are working out the logistics now. We have to get three men and tools to this site and complete the take-down and packing before the end of May.

This would be a relatively simple operation, but Covid is introducing a few extra problems, but we will solve those problems anyway.


Vertex 9M 4 port KU-Band Antenna with full electronics. In excellent condition due to its location in a dry climate.



In addition to satellite tracking the electronics package includes an LNA redundancy system.
