In need of 7.2m C band Antenna...Lagos Nigeria

From email 2 Feb 2023:

We have a Simulsat 5B antenna coming available in the next few weeks.



Currently it has 20 C-Band LNBs together with 20 interference filters plus a full de-ice package.

What makes this antenna so exceptional is that it was installed in 2018, and in antenna terms it's almost a newborn.

Look to the listing on our website to get the prices and more details.

From email 24 Jan 2023:

Several years ago we (NewEraSystems) purchased the entire inventory of Red Cross disaster recovery communication systems.

Each system was comprised of an AVL 1.2m antenna, Tracstar antenna controller, BUC and LNB.The parts were shipped in three boxes and technically called a fly-away system.

When a disaster occurred the Red Cross team were sent to help the recovery but they were not satellite engineers and so the communications systems were designed to be operated easily by non experts.

Out of the original 30 systems we have just a few remaining, some are complete, the others will make excellent spares or with the purchase of Tracstar controllers can be made into automatic operating systems.

We offering everything as a complete package for one low price.

Three Comtech EFData 60W C-Band BUCs, they arrived in the last few weeks. In stock here in Melbourne, Florida, USA and ready to ship

Two arrived looking like new but the other one showed that it had obviously been used, but all three of them performed perfectly during testing.


Comtech Model Number LPC0-279
If you go to our web listing you will be able to see the test results.


Comtech model LPC0-148
This BUC has M&C cables already made up, but the power cable is missing but the connector is included in the package. Comtech model LPC0-148


Comtech LPC0-279 60W C-Band BUC. It was removed this from a teleport that had closed down.

VSAT Field Engineering course, 10-14 April 2023, to be held in Nairobi, Kenya.

4 days. Theory and lots of practical.

Recommended.

Hi Eric,

Amos 17 is a HTS so the traditional division to transponders is less relevant, as they can manage the spectrum divided to much narrower channels.
As far as I know, channels can be managed more or less separately, allowing as well cross connect to other beams and frequency bands.

But I am not sure their Ka is meant to provide service to Africa, I think it is supposed to cover the East Mediterranean   area. But I'm really not sure about it.

Here is another satellite with Ka band bandwidth over Africa.

https://www.amos-spacecom.com/ka-band-africa/

AMOS 17 has 4 Ka band spot beams which may be rented and pointed wherever to cover small areas with high downlink power and high uplink sensitivity.  More than 1 GHz bandwidth per beam!

I'm not sure about Ka band beam connectivity. Africa spot beam to Africa spot beam is probable but cross-connect to and from the European and Israel spots may also be possible.  Does anyone have a frequncy plan or information about transponder interconnectivity?.

Best regards, Eric.

Here some general advice about for someone wanting to set up a single new TV channel:

Find successful existing TV service multiplex in the area of interest.

Look at www.lyngsat.com
If Africa, try: https://www.lyngsat.com/freetv/Africa.html

In Lyngsat, at the top of the multiplex data, the name of the uplink manager/organiser may be shown, for example "Mediavision". In this case contact "Mediavision" as they will be able to assist you getting your TV channel added.

What satellite TV dishes do people have in your area of interest?. What satellite are they pointed at ?

Ideally you want a satellite with a high power downlink beam aimed at your area of interest. You want to find a TV multiplex that is already carrying multiple TV and sound and has thousands of viewers/listeners in your area of interest.  Find out if there is spare bit rate capacity in the existing multiplex.  Then find out if you could add your channel to the existing multiplex.

Unless your service is exceptionally attractive you will not get new viewers installing a dish just for your channel if it is on a different satellite.

Having found a promising multiplex, find out where is comes from (uplink). This is likely to be a significant teleport which could be located anywhere with visibility of the satellite uplink beam. Talk to the teleport operators.  How to the other TV companies get their program material to the teleport ?

Talk to the satellite owners. They may well have their own teleports with uplink facilities available. There may be some satellites with on-board multiplexers. I am not sure. Ask. This could be helpful if you want your own teleport with single channel uplink.

email today, someone wants...

"We look for outdoor extended Ku band (13.75-14.5Ghz) TWTA with L band input at least with 400W."

If you can help please email me eric@satsig.net reference 24/11/2022, 15:01 and I will pass on your contact details to the customer.
