About

The ATCi 4.5 Meter C/Ku-Band Prime Focus Receive-Only Antenna is a precise, quality state-of-the-art antenna for satellite ground stations. Manufactured by Prodelin, the antenna features a glass fiber reinforced galvanized reflector with powder coat finish for superior protection against the elements. The 4.5 Meter reflector consists of 8 draw die-formed contoured petals with matched radial beams, requiring no field alignment to significantly reduce installation time and cost. Available in fixed Gibralter mount configurations, the antenna achieves excellent performance across both C and Ku frequency bands. ATCi provides the best value antenna solutions with competitive pricing, highest quality products and unmatched engineering support for teleport and broadcast operators worldwide.
