Frequently asked questions
What does the frame size in the part number mean?
It is the largest layout the frame supports (for example 64x128). You can order it partly populated and add 8-port cards later.
Need it installed, aligned or supported?
Digisat engineers install, commission and maintain satellite ground systems for government agencies, teleports and broadcasters worldwide. Request installation or engineering support.
