Satellite Equipment From Ground Control

Choosing a satellite dish will be dependent on which satellite you are connecting to, your location, and your transmission speed requirements. Dish sizes range from 1.2 meter, 1.8m, 2.4m & 3.8m (square meter) sizes. A satellite dish includes the feed horn, but not the radio (transmitter and receiver). We offer national & international VSAT installation services.



The BUC (Block Up Converter) is the transmitter of the satellite dish. The smaller LNB (Low Noise Block) is the receiver. BUC's are rated in transmitting wattage ranging from 3 watt, 4, 6, 8, 16, all the way to 400 watts, which is often used for broadcast quality video streaming. Depending on your use, dish size and installation location will determine the best size BUC for your satellite dish.



Fixed satellite dishes are mounted in a variety of ways. Pole Mount, Non-penetrating roof mount (no holes are drilled in the roof), sloped roof, etc... Each installation is different and we recommend speaking with us (1-805-783-4600) to find your best solution. Installations are performed on-site by our national and international team of satellite installation experts.
