Satellite Dish Systems - Complete Kits Ground Control offers 1.2 Meter or 1.8 Meter Ku-Band or C-Band complete satellite systems with everything required for connectivity. The 1.8 Meter dish is bundled with a 6 watt transmitter, the powerful Evolution X3 Satellite Router, cabling and a non-penetrating mount. This is everything needed to create high-speed connection. It does require a certified installer.

Online Installation Certification - $300 plus toolbag (if tools are not owned) Avoid the cost of installation by taking our online Installation Training & Certification course. Certified installers can assemble, point, and activate a satellite system with Ground Control. The advantage of being a certified installer is no installation costs, or costly repointing (such as after a storm), or moving of a system to a new location. And, if interested, there may be paid jobs you may be be interested in performing for us. Please note that certification is offered only to those who are purchasing a Ground Control system. Ground Control does require the enrollee own (or have access to) certain specialized satellite pointing tools. Enrollees may also purchase our certified installer tool bag that includes the tools necessary for satellite system installations. Apply for the Ground Control Installation Training & Certification Course
