Telecom(munications) / installation of VSAT antennae
French term or phrase: mobilisation / demobilisation
- Préparation de la mission et mobilisation : 3 j
- Démobilisation et rédaction du rapport de survey avec projet de plan d’installation : 7j


The term is used throughout the document, e.g. temps de mobilisation, mobiliser des équipes, etc. I'm tempted to use mobilisation/demobilisation/mobilise as I've seen many references on the net for similar context. Would this be too literal?

commissioning / decommissioning


Explanation:
Not sure whether these would fit in the context - I respect smdiskin's better judgement regarding the industry terms - but I have heard commissioning/decommissioning used.
Just another suggestion
