Real-Time Control for Satellite & TV Operations

Running satellite & TV installation means handling site surveys, line-of-sight checks, mast/bracket mounting, dish/aerial alignment, cable runs and grounding, LNB/multiswitch setup, STB/TV provisioning, IPTV/OTT app setup, SMATV/MATV headends, tuning/QA, handover, and service calls — often across multi-dwelling units, single-family homes, and commercial sites with strict access windows. Teams need live visibility of who’s on-site, which rooms/risers are in scope, what parts are issued, and where work is slipping. That’s why Shifton delivers a field service platform built for Satellite & TV Installation — clear statuses, precise assignments, and clean handoffs between sales, dispatch, field techs, property management, and clients/GCs.
