ISO Corner Mount

One example of our mechanical engineering is our ISO Corner Mount.

Typically utilised to mount antenna off the ground, this solution has several value-added features - up to 4 antenna per container, no mounting frame required (no welding), simple to install, 1.2m, 1.8m and 2.4m antenna supported.

The Paradigm Corner Mount Adaptor allows antenna king posts for 1.2, 1.8 and 2.4 metre antennas to be mounted on ISO Containers, in situations where non-penetrating roof mounts (NPRMs) are not practical, or where space is at a premium but an ISO Container is available.

Assembly is straightforward, making the Adaptor ideal for temporary and permanent installations. For permanent installations with larger antenna or Maritime Antenna's, ballast can be added, or the ISO Container can be anchored by restraining wires to provide stability during periods of high winds.

The installation is suitable for antenna reflectors of up to 2.4 metres in diameter. Paradigm supplies a chart for calculating the amount of ballast required, which takes into account the weight of the Container itself.

ISO Containers that are employed as shelters for indoor terminal equipment may be used, providing their overall weight is made up to the required ballast calculation, or are restrained as previously described.

Paradigm can supply the Adaptor with or without a King Post for a 1.2, 1.8 or 2.4 metre antenna. It is expected that the customer will source the ISO Container, and the appropriate ballast or restraints. However, Paradigm can provide these as part of a complete satellite terminal installation, if required.

Maintenance for the adaptor is minimal, requiring checking of the jack bolts after the initial ‘bedding-in’ period, and thereafter every six months or following major storms.
