>>4969131 Moar Napa Digs: Tim and Steph Busch

Dig climbing into anons Tim Busch find. While looking at Busch's Napa resort, nextdoor there's a bunch of satellite dishes. Intelsat Corporation out of Mclean Virginia. Helper anon did mention beating around the bush.

>Intelsat Corporation—formerly INTEL-SAT, INTELSAT, Intelsat—is a communications satellite services provider. Originally formed as International Telecommunications Satellite Organization (ITSO, or INTELSAT), it was—from 1964 to 2001—an intergovernmental consortium owning and managing a constellation of communications satellites providing international broadcast services.

>As of March 2011, Intelsat operates a fleet of 52 communications satellites, which is one of the world's largest fleet of commercial satellites.[3] They claim to serve around 1,500 customers and employ a staff of approximately 1,100 people

Operations

>Intelsat maintains[when?] its corporate headquarters in Luxembourg, with a majority of staff and satellite functions. Administrative headquarters is located at the Intelsat Corporation offices in Tysons Corner, Virginia.[17] A highly international business, Intelsat sources the majority of its revenue from non-U.S. located customers. Intelsat's biggest teleport is the Teleport Fuchsstadt in Germany.

I've actually been on a tour of the place with the director. The dishes pointing straight up do have a purpose. The dishes pointing to the east provide television and data services to Asia.

When did you visit us? The Antenna pointing up are still not in use, but yes all of them have a purpose…

Hi All,

I was doing a Google search for the phone number for the Napa teleport so that I could contact an old friend, and I came across this old thread. If this thread is still active, I'll give some answers.

The Napa satellite earth station teleport is owned by Intelsat. It was originally built by PanAmSat in order to service their satellites in the Pacific Ocean Region (POR). PanAmSat was sold and then merged and merged again until today the teleport is owned by Intelsat.

In the photos shown previously in this thread, the antennas looking straight up (zenith position), are in that configuration for maintenance, and are out of service. The teleport can view satellites in the POR, the U.S. domestic arc and a couple of satellites in the AOR (Atlantic Ocean Region). This teleport services many satellites, including Intelsat 8, which is located at 166°E (on the other side of the International Dateline), with a look angle of 5.7° above the horizon.
