Zimmerwald Onyx facility. Commercial and military satcom intercept system used by Swiss securityforces. Installed in 1999 and operational from 2005. Onyx is very much comparable with the NSA ECHELON-system and its almost vertain that they are coupled. Notice the dish antenna south of the premises; the square on the north side contains vertical antennas.
Notice the shadows of the other vertical antennas around the facility. Big Brother is watching!
