Installation in record time: Save time and money.
With our new, efficient Plug & Play antenna system, CPI Vertex Antennentechnik significantly shortens your construction-site processes. We deliver completely pre-assembled, pre-wired, tested and ready-to-connect high-end antenna systems in sizes ranging from 5.5 meters to 13.5 meters. By doing so, we significantly minimize the accompanying costs of lengthy antenna installation projects, such as for barriers, site security, scaffolding, or for onsite correction and test processes.
While a typical antenna installation can take up to weeks or even months, CPI Vertex Antennentechnik installs the entire Plug & Play Antenna system on a prepared site in just a matter of hours. For more information, please take a look at our video below that showcases the installation of a 7.0 meter Turning Head GEO antenna in under nine and a half hours.
CPI Vertex Antennentechnik’s Plug & Play Antennas’ benefits include:
- Pre-wired and preassembled in the factory, resulting in drastically reduced on-site installation time
- Subsystems are pre-assembled and validated in the factory, increasing the efficiency of the installation process
- Competitively priced, offering minimal costs for downstream ownership
- Offer a high level of quality assurance, as a detailed quality assurance review takes place on the assembled antenna in the factory
- Utilize standardized components, which reduces the cost of spare parts
- Metal works, drilling and subsequent paintings and rust treatment takes place in the factory
- Require very low maintenance
Features include:
- Available in all frequencies up to Q/V-Band
- Available in Turning Head, Full Motion or Full Motion Tilt models
- Large hub for RF system integration
- High-accuracy tracking and pointing
- Easy IFL: fiber optic and power cables only
- Power heating system with a low carbon footprint
- Available “health monitoring” options
- Available in following sizes: 5.5m, 7.0m, 9.0m, 11.5m and 13.5m
CPI Vertex Antennentechnik Plug & Play antennas are available in three different models to support different applications:
- Turning Head GEO
- Full Motion GEO/MEO/HEO
- Full Motion Tilt LEO

How CPI Vertex Plug & Play Antenna Systems Work:
Your entire system is completely pre-assembled, pre-wired, connected to the relevant software products, and fully tested at our premises in Germany.
Once the system is tested and ready for operation, it is divided into sensible sections and dismantled accordingly. The finished assembly sections are individually packed and transported to your construction site. The final assembly is meticulously planned before the onsite process beings. Due to the sophisticated assembly planning process, the CPI Vertex Antennentechnik team is able to assemble the antenna system onsite at your site within a few hours and put the antenna system into operation on the very same day.
CPI Vertex Antennentechnik Provides Planning, Assembly and Support Services and High-end Systems, All from One Expert Source
Based on your unique requirements, CPI Vertex Antennentechnik starts the installation planning with a consultation process to determine the feasibility of a Plug & Play system and discuss the necessary cooperation to ensure successful installation. We evaluate possible solutions, create a time schedule and set important milestones, even for all the preparations on the customer’s side.
As a Plug & Play customer, you may need to work with us to prepare the construction site so that the final assembly can be carried out as quickly as possible. Our specialist departments will assist you with the installation planning and draw up a site preparation plan for you.
Once your CPI Vertex Plug & Play Antenna system is installed and operational, we take care of monitoring the operation, documentation and the necessary system service.
