Satellite Dishes - Stationary Systems
Satellite Internet Dishes
Choosing a satellite dish will be dependent on which satellite you are connecting to, your location, and your transmission speed requirements. Dish sizes range from 1.2 Meter, 1.8M, 2.4M & 3.8M (square meter) sizes. A satellite dish includes the feed horn, but not the radio (transmitter and receiver).


BUC & LNB Radios
Satellite BUC
The BUC (Block Up Converter) is the transmitter of the satellite dish. The smaller LNB (Low Noise Block) Is the receiver. BUC's are rated in transmitting wattage ranging from 3 Watt, 4, 6, 8, 16, all the way to 400 watts, which is often used for broadcast quality video streaming. Depending on your use, dish size and installation location will determine the best size BUC for your satellite dish.


Mounting Solutions
Satellite Mounts
Fixed satellite dishes may be mounted in a variety of ways. The most common is on top of a roof using a non-penetrating roof mount (no holes are drilled in the roof). There are sloped roof non-pen mounts, wall mounts, and ground mounting kits. Each installation is different and we recommend speaking with us to find your best solution.


Mobile Satellite Systems
Mobile Satellite Internet Systems
Ground Control also sells a variety of mobile satellite systems that range from 0.74 Meters to 2.4 M for Ku, C & X-Band systems. The BUC size (or transmitter) ranges between 3 watts to 400 watts. The .98Meter Toughsat XP with a 6 watt transmitter is capable transmitting 5Mbps down and 2Mbps up in North America. We also offer a 1.8 Meter Vehicle mounted mobile Ku, C or X-Band dish. The TripleA Semi-Mobile system is a fixed dish with motors.
