Antenna Hosting
Turnkey Earth observation antenna hosting service at Pinkmatter's site near Pretoria, South Africa.
Description
Pinkmatter offers antenna hosting services in the southern hemisphere, 40 minutes' drive from OR Tambo (Johannesburg) International Airport, South Africa. The hosting site is co-located with Pinkmatter's head office to ensure on-site smart-hands support. Pretoria's weather conditions are ideal for ground station operation, with moderate temperatures, low winds and zero snowfall; most locations on the site provide an 8-degree horizon mask or better, and the low-density surrounding area keeps RF interference low.
