A newly designed rain deviator ensures that the feed window remains dry, even in high wind conditions. The rugged low backlash mount construction provides 125 mph (200 km/hr) wind survival and accounts for low values of beam radial pointing errors during tracking modes. For extended product life, the antenna's ground mount assembly is manufactured from hot-dipped galvanized steel. Stainless steel hardware provides maximum resistance against corrosion. Equipment options, including hub mounted equipment enclosure, anti-icing equipment, and pressurization Pressurization generally refers to the application of pressure in a given situation or environment; and more specifically refers to the process by which atmospheric pressure is maintained in an isolated or semi-isolated atmospheric environment (for instance, in an aircraft, or systems, are available for cost effective system expansion.
