Global Ground Station Network
Many ground stations have completed their original missions or have gone into a lower utilization mode. As a result, there is excess capacity available on these antennas and revenue opportunities to offset the cost of operations. As the need to bring down more data from space increases, so does the need to have more downlink capacity from a global ground station network. That’s where RBC Signals comes in. Our global ground station network is designed to provide the satellite operator with multiple downlink points throughout their orbit. To accomplish this, we not only use our own ground stations, we partner with existing ground station operators with high quality assets. If you have an existing ground station with excess capacity that you would like to see about monetizing, we would love to talk with you about adding your antenna to the RBC Signals network.
