Andrew Corporation has enhanced two of its most popular earth-station antennas to make them capable of withstanding the most intense hurricane-force winds.

The company said its 4.5 meter and 9.4 meter High Wind Earth Station Antennas ensure minimal degradation of performance during high winds. They have the ability to survive in winds of up to 155 miles per hour in any position and speeds of up to 200 miles per hour in the stowed position.

Andrew's Satellite Communications Group provides antennas from 43 centimeters to 11.5 meters, and cover C, Ku, K, X, and the emerging Ka bands. The products include type approved earth station antenna hubs and gateways for broadband and broadcast, VSAT broadband antennas for consumer and enterprise customers, DBS antennas for home satellite broadcast systems, and complete installation and testing services.

The company said it will showcase its various satellite communications offerings February 7-9 at SATELLITE 2006 in Washington, D.C.
