Teleport

THE BRIEF

C2S was awarded the build of a complete turnkey system and Teleport facility for KSO (Kgatontle Satellite Operations) in South Africa. 

The Teleport facility was required to provide mainly satellite feeds and connectivity to the expanding DSTV platform. The Teleport facility was built in SuperSport Park in Centurion, Pretoria, South Africa.

The Teleport facility consists of 4 fully redundant Earth Stations, 1 x 3.8M C-Band and 3 x 2.4M Ku-Band with fibre connectivity from the antenna’s locations in the field to the MCR in the DSTV building.

C2S also provided 2 x 2.4M and 1.8M Portable KU-Band and C-Band fully redundant Satellite Uplink systems together with 3 x 1.5M fully redundant Ku-Band DSNG satellite system to allow KSO to install the systems in local 4×4 cars.

C2S installed and commissioned, the satellite antennas. This also included preparing the antennas bases and running the fibre infrastructure from the Teleport location to the MCR. C2S installed and commissioned all video, audio, fibres, decoders/receivers, and monitoring in the MCR
