Satellite communications remain at the core of global connectivity, bridging gaps in remote regions, supporting enterprises, governments, defense, and broadcasters where terrestrial networks cannot reach. At the heart of reliable satellite communication lies the earth station antenna. Among the most versatile and widely deployed solutions today is the Probecom 3.7M Earth Station Antenna, a robust, high-performance ground antenna designed for C-Band and Ku-Band operations.

As an authorized distributor, VSATPlus provides the Probecom 3.7M antenna for enterprises, broadcasters, telecom providers, and defense organizations worldwide. This article takes a detailed look at the specifications, features, and benefits of this powerful antenna solution and explains why it is one of the top choices for mission-critical communication networks.


The Probecom 3.7-meter antenna is part of the company’s extensive range of satellite earth station antennas, ranging from 1.8M to 16M across multiple bands including C, Ku, Ka, X, S, and L-Band. Specifically, the 3.7M model delivers outstanding RF performance, stability, and reliability for transmit and receive (Tx/Rx) operations.

This antenna is offered in Tx/Rx 2-port feed or Tx/Rx 4-port feed configurations, supporting both linear and circular polarization for C-Band, while the Ku-Band version supports linear polarization. The combination of high gain, low noise temperature, and rigid mechanical design makes it ideal for applications ranging from broadcasting and corporate data connectivity to defense, oil & gas communications, and teleport infrastructure.


Some standout features of the Probecom 3.7M Earth Station Antenna include:

  • CP/LP Switchable Feed – Easily switch between circular and linear polarization for flexible deployments.
  • High RF Performance – Optimized gain and G/T ratio for reliable communication.
  • Galvanized Stainless Steel Hardware – Built for strength and long-term durability.
  • Ease of Installation – Reflector panels are pre-assembled, taper-pin design enables fast and accurate setup.
  • Wide Frequency Support – Available in C-Band and Ku-Band with options for other bands.
  • Environmental Resilience – Can withstand operational winds up to 72 km/h and survival winds of 200 km/h.
  • Custom Options – Supports feed blowers, deicing systems, multi-band operation, and more.

The Probecom 3.7M antenna is widely used in industries that rely on high-performance satellite communication, including:

  • Broadcast & Media – Satellite TV uplink/downlink, live event broadcasting, and teleport services.
  • Telecommunications – Carrier-grade VSAT and backbone connectivity.
  • Oil, Gas & Mining – Remote site communication in rugged terrains.
  • Government Projects – National satellite programs, disaster recovery, and emergency response.
  • Corporate Networks – Enterprise-grade IP, voice, and video connectivity in remote regions.
