CPI VERTEX Antennentechnik

CPI VERTEX Antennentechnik GmbH is a Duisburg, Germany-based manufacturer of precision ground station antenna systems, operating as part of Communications & Power Industries (CPI), a major US-based provider of electronic components and subsystems for defense, communications, and scientific applications.

VERTEX produces a comprehensive range of full-motion tracking antenna systems from small 1.8m dishes to large 35m aperture reflectors, covering the full spectrum of ground station applications: TT&C (Telemetry, Tracking, and Command) for satellite operators needing to communicate with and control their spacecraft, Earth observation data reception (downlinking imagery and sensor data from remote sensing satellites), and deep space communications (where large apertures and high gain are required to maintain links across interplanetary distances).

The 35m class antennas are used for deep space mission support comparable to ESA ESTRACK and NASA Deep Space Network stations. VERTEX systems support all commercial frequency bands (S, C, X, Ku, Ka) and military bands. The company's German engineering heritage and CPI's global support network make VERTEX antennas a standard choice for commercial satellite operators, national space agencies, and defense customers establishing new ground stations or upgrading legacy facilities worldwide.
