I would like to find equipment that can with stand strong winds and sub zero temps. This would be on a 9000 ft ridge. It does have commercial power and internet available

I also found this:
- Heated Antennas or De-Icing Covers: Consider applying electrically heated covers or heater pads to melt accumulating ice and snow. These systems can be automated to activate when the temperature falls below a threshold and moisture is present. Passive covers offer some protection, but active heating guarantees continuous operation in freezing conditions.
- Rugged Construction: Choose dishes fabricated from rugged aluminum or steel, with construction rated for high-wind survival (up to 125–155mph)

Hope that helps.Reinforced Mounting Hardware: Use heavy-duty mounting brackets, sway bars, and secure anchors—ideally set into concrete. For smaller residential dishes, long lag bolts into rafters or poles concreted in the ground add stability
Guy Wires and Sway Bars: For larger antennas or those exposed to exceptionally high winds, additional support with guy wires or sway bars is recommended to prevent movement, wobbling, or tipping.
