Winegard Co: A Legacy of Satellite Communication Innovation

When it comes to staying connected far from the grid, few names carry the depth of experience that Winegard Co brings to the table. Satellite communication is not a side business for Winegard — it is a core part of their engineering DNA. Founded in 1953, Winegard has spent decades developing and refining satellite solutions that span everything from recreational use to critical infrastructure.

VSAT Two-Way Satellite Systems for Demanding Environments

At the professional end of Winegard's satellite communication lineup is their Special Products Division, focused on two-way VSAT communications. Winegard manufactures two-way VSAT satellite communications systems for the enterprise, energy, and emergency response industries in 0.84 meter, 0.96 meter, 1.2 meter, and 1.8 meter configurations. These are not consumer-grade products — they are purpose-built for operators who cannot afford to lose connectivity.

Winegard's two-way satellite antennas feature extremely heavy-duty construction and incorporate hydrophobically-sealed motors and the strongest, most rugged actuators in the industry, allowing for maximum reliability in extreme environments. The flagship WX1200D 1.2M system is a standout example: it provides the fastest acquisition times in the market with auto-acquisition of the target satellite, and with superior two-way communication capabilities, it delivers and receives data, video, and voice.

Winegard's most notable VSAT products are the WV750 Ka-band antenna system and the WX1200 auto-deploy, Ku-band, satellite internet system. Vertical markets Winegard focuses upon include oil and gas, emergency services, police/fire/ambulance, military SNG/broadcast, cellular backhaul, distance learning, remote medicine, disaster management, and homeland security.

Portable & Mobile Satellite Antennas for RV and On-the-Go Use

For the adventurer or RV enthusiast, Winegard's portable satellite communication lineup is equally compelling. Winegard's two-way satellite communication services are designed for use in harsh environments, and VSAT Internet systems can be easily transported, operated, and deployed to locate satellite signals. Products like the Carryout G2+ and Pathway X1 bring this portability to everyday consumers — fully automatic portable antennas that find satellite orbital locations and allow switching of providers from inside your RV, with compatibility for DISH, DIRECTV, and Bell TV programming.

Designed for portability, these systems feature a low stow height for roof mounting on any vehicle, and the mount antenna system meets Mil-spec standards while offering a high-performance broadband solution. That combination of rugged engineering and user-friendly operation is a hallmark of what Winegard delivers across its satellite communication category.

Why Trust Winegard for Satellite Communication?

Founder John Winegard invented the multi-channel Yagi antenna, and since its incorporation in 1953, Winegard has designed more than 1,000 antenna models and been granted more than 90 U.S. patents. The company's heritage includes recognition by NASA for contributions to the Apollo 11 mission, and the induction of founder John Winegard into the Consumer Electronics Association Hall of Fame. That foundation of innovation translates directly into their satellite communication products — systems engineered to perform when it matters most, whether you're parked at a campground or deployed in a remote energy field.
