Popular Equipment Solutions
Our most popular fixed satellite solution uses the iDirect Evolution X3 Gateway connected to our 1.2 or 1.8 meter satellite dish with a 6 watt BUC (transmitter) on a Non-Penetrating mount.
This is everything needed to create a working high-speed connection except for the installation that requires a certified installer. |
- $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 communication systems 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. Please note that certification is offered only to those who are purchasing a Ground Control system.
Ground Control does require the enrollee to 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.
