BT recently hosted a technical tour of their BT Madley Communications Centre for the IET Satellite Technical Professional Network (TPN). There was a broad range of attendees (including people working in satellite, wider telecoms and the broader tech industry).
BT Madley is a secure, premium-quality, carrier-class Satellite Earth Station, with over 60 satellite antennas in operation ranging in diameter from 75cm to 32 metres.
Attendees were shown the scale of BT Madley, which is one of Europe’s largest teleports, with a behind the scenes tour of the operations area, satellite hubs, radio equipment and power infrastructure. This including standing under the 32 metre Madley 1 antenna for this group photo.
The Satellite TPN would like to thank BT Madley staff for hosting the visit which was much appreciated.
