ARNG Warrior Satellite
Project Overview & Equipment List

 Project Overview:

Convergent Media Systems of Atlanta GA has a contractual agreement with The Army National Guard (AAN) to install and maintain satellite services for their video network.

The downlink sites consist of a TVRO (television receive only) Antenna pointed at Telstar 4, a headend location with a SA PowerVu 9234 IRD and a SA PowerVu 9235 IRD, 27” monitor, VCR, surge protector and an AT Products conferencing unit with 10 M31 Mics on a Bretford TV Roll-About Cart.  An IFL (Intermediate Frequency Line)  is run from the LNB(Low Noise Blocker) at the antenna to the headend location. 

Convergent will issue all work requests.  You must contact the DTTP Warrior Satellite Operations Office (Call 877-820-0305) BEFORE you relocate your dish or perform extensive maintenance on it.  Convergent Project Management in Atlanta must be notified 2 working days in advance of all site work.
