Services

StarBridge Communications tailors each team to match the installation, integration or testing requirements of each assignment.

Installation

StarBridge provides our customers with the flexibility of ‘turn-key’ or man-day installation quotes. From highly experienced, theodolite qualified installation supervisors to eager and motivated technicians, StarBridge will meet the unique requirements of each project as specified by the client. Our goal is to relieve our clients of the burdens associated with logistical requirements on site. We can make all arrangements for cranes, airfare, hotels, and transportation and will supply all required tools as requested by the client.

 Relocation

StarBridge crews are capable of decommissioning Earth Station as large as 32 meters in diameter. For Earth Station relocations StarBridge will typically perform baseline reference tests prior to decommissioning in order to ensure a product of equal quality is delivered to the new site. Our crews are experienced in the handling and crating of waveguide components, antenna feeds, antenna panels and control systems as well as the packaging and delivery of all rack-mounted electronic equipment.

Integration

StarBridge crews are as comfortable and competent in the equipment room as they are on the antenna. Our supervisors and technicians have been trained by some of the most demanding managers in the industry and take great pride in their ability to terminate, test and dress cabling associated with distribution panels to fully populated equipment racks. From Tallguide to complex Monopulse Control Systems our crews will ensure all terminations and interfaces meet not only the manufacturer’s specifications but the aesthetic requirements of the most meticulous customer.

Testing

StarBridge engineers and supervisors are capable of performing all functional, RF related and Link tests associated with verification and acceptance of Earth Stations including, but not limited to Standard “A” specifications. From ARSTRAT/DSCS,  Phase Noise, IMP’s, Frequency Response, Return Loss, Radiation Patterns, Cross-pol and G/T measurements (including Radio Star Method) to Rotary Joint and Optical Encoder Alignment verification. Our staff not only records the data but interprets, complies and submits a full report detailing and/or explaining all results.

Training

StarBridge personnel have performed on-site training for the Maintenance, Technical and Engineering staffs of our clients. We will take your maintenance staff through the Preventative Maintenance recommendations of the manufacturer. More in depth training can be supplied to your Technical and Engineering personnel including Functional, Operations and Theory of Operation courses. At the conclusion of each project we feel it is important that our customers have a full understanding of the functional and operational capabilities of their new system.

Maintenance

StarBridge can propose and implement a maintenance schedule tailored to your particular Earth Station requirements. We can provide periodic lubrication and corrosion control as well as troubleshooting and equipment repair on an “as required basis”. We are committed to providing you with the highest level of availability and minimizing costly equipment down time.
