Why are you showing links to heaters? You ask if other manufacturers have this problem, then you provide links to the exact opposite problem which is freezing temperatures. The answer to your original question is no, other manufacturers do not shut down anywhere near this temperature.

I replied to my own comment with another manufacturer with this problem. You are right that my link was to deicing but another comment said that randomes are a maritime solution to both heating and cooling.

Oh, and apparently there are heatsinks you can buy for satellite dishes.

Radomes cost over $10k at these frequencies, so that's not a solution.
