RFI-shielded containers

Four RFI-shielded containers are especially designed and outfitted to accommodate all the electronic equipment that the MeerKAT team needs to control, monitor and operate the radio astronomy telescopes that are being built in the Northern Cape Province. The initial KAT-7 and the subsequent MeerKAT radio telescopes are pathfinders for the Square Kilometre Array (SKA).
