About Bob's Satellite Specialist
The
company was founded in 1986 as a residential satellite
sales and service company after the owner had to repair a system
he had bought from a retailer that went out of business.
The
company expanded in 1986 with the purchase of a new company building,
training courses offered by the SBCA and plenty of field experience. With
the experience acquired in residential and a sound company reputation,
commercial customers started to call for assistance with their
company's communication needs.
With
calls to install antennas in sites that other companies didn't
want to try, the company found a way to do the work no one else
wanted. Cycle sat requested a repair in Chicago that lead to
three years of broadcast installations for the them. With 4.5 meter and
1 meter antennas, controllers, and VTR interfaces for television stations all over the
USA. This lead to more experience than most companies
have in antenna installations.
Another
call from the antenna manufacture lead to the rewriting of the
installation manuals by the companies owner, and the testing of the
new product line at such test sites as TSA and Vertex.
The company hasn't sold any retail product for over 10 years,
with quality labor and sense of the right way to do things the
company has experienced excellent growth over the last few years.
Bob's
Satellite Specialist now does work for over (5) five national
distributors in the broadcast market and direct for television
stations by referral. Future growth looks good. Installation
work being done the right way just comes naturally to Bob's with
it's long term commitment to the broadcast industry.
2004 has
been one great year with several projects completed for SES Americom. The
installation of Ka-band monitoring stations all over the United States,
including Alaska. The systems included two 1.2 meter Patriot antennas,
Monics configured Dell computer and rack mounted monitor/keyboard. A
Rhoads & Swartz Spectrum Analyzer along with other equipment. These
locations monitor the new KA space craft operation.
Owners note: After 20 years in this business I want to thank everyone
we have completed projects for, this job has allowed me to do a job I truly
enjoy doing.
I have felt pride in every project and know we will continue to be able to show new
