GermanyAbout Hiltron
Hiltron Communications is a German system integrator, manufacturer and distributor of satellite and wireless broadcast equipment. The company has more than 40 years of experience. It works from its headquarters in Backnang, near Stuttgart, Germany.
Hiltron works in four areas: its own products, system integration, distribution and services. As a business partner of major manufacturers, it can supply most satellite communication products. Customers can ask it for advice on choosing the right equipment or for answers to technical questions.
Hiltron designs and builds its own products for satellite earth stations. The Hiltron Motorized Antenna Mount is a high-speed, three-axis antenna positioner. It suits reflectors from 1.2 to 4.9 metres across. The Hiltron Antenna Control Unit positions motorised antennas and handles satellite tracking, including inclined orbit, step track, program track and prediction tracking.
The Hiltron Control System is a modular controller for many earth station tasks. The Hiltron Redundancy and Monitoring Unit is a switching system that manages equipment such as LNAs, LNBs, block converters, BUCs and HPAs. The Hiltron De-icing Control Unit is a web-based system that combines a de-icing sensor with dish heating for small, medium or large antennas. The Hiltron Monitoring and Control System controls satellite equipment from a master control room and has a graphical interface.
Hiltron also builds complete systems for customers. Its reference projects include a 9.4 metre uplink for KDG, work for DR Byen in Denmark, an IPTV headend for Vodafone, and an earth station for EBU in Tripoli.
The company takes part in industry shows. It promoted its latest satcom systems at IBC 2026 in Amsterdam and planned to attend Space Tech Expo Europe 2026 in Bremen. It lists support, news and job pages for customers and staff.
