WTW-20-Pedestal
The WTW-20-Pedestal dual axis Pedestal is a high-precision positioner that we install as a pedestal for our smaller antenna systems, such as the WTW-LSC-20, WTW-S-26-MIMO or the WTW-C-1.2m.
Our customers also use this positioner for their own systems and install their camera sytems, or varying HF attachments, e.g. for experimental research in the aerospace sector.
