How To Install A High-Performance Satellite System

  Step 1. Consider an iDirect Service Plan
Ground Control has numerous service plans not listed, so please contact us for developing a service plan to your requirements.
 
  Step 2. Check Your Look Angle
Prior to installation, you may need to see if your intended installation location has an obstacle in front of it that would block the satellite signal. This is common in downtown locations, or valleys with mountains and trees. Use this handy little tool to find out. More
 
  Step 3. Select Dish and Radio
We have a variety of high-performance iDirect antennas and radios from .98 meter to 2.4 meter and from 3 Watt to a cloud busting 20 Watt radio. We can help you decide on which system is right for you.
 
  Step 4. Installation Time & Place
With a world-wide installation network, our certified VSAT installers will have an installation in place and working normally within two weeks from purchase.
