Feb 20, 2012 - Applied Instruments is proud to introduce the new AI Turbo S2 satellite meter.

The AI Turbo S2 satellite meter is rugged, versatile, and easy to use.

Satellite technicians in the USA that install DBS / DTH (i.e. Dish Network, DIRECTV, Bell TV, Shaw Direct) will appreciate its faster speed and its hefty Li-Ion battery. The AI Turbo S2 can also tune to the 250-750 MHz band, which is becoming more useful as satellite service providers incorporate new methods of band-stacking outside of the normal L-Band (950-2150 MHz). The AI Turbo S2 is compatible with all satellite signals and LNBs for Dish Network, Bell TV, Shaw Direct, and others. There are a few new features related to DIRECTV, including the ability to control the DIRECTV SWiM LNBs and SWiM modules and display an estimated signal quality for the DIRECTV 99 & 103 Ka satellites.

Users in the commercial broadcast segment of the satellite industry will really appreciate the AI Turbo S2 meter's DVB-S2 compatibility (and the DVB-S, Digicipher 2, DSS, and Turbo code signal demodulation capability that are also featured in earlier Applied Instruments satellite meters), ability to see the constellation, and ability to quickly save spectrum plots for later viewing on a PC.

Other possible applications for the AI Turbo S2 satellite meter are Free to Air, VSAT, SNG, CATV headends, and teleports.

The model AI Turbo S2 satellite signal level meter has all of the great features of the Super Buddy 29 and more. Owners of Super Buddy satellite meters will migrate to the new meter with ease and feel right at home, as the style of the menus and keys is very similar.

In summary, the benefits of the AI Turbo S2 when compared to the Super Buddy meter are its much stronger, longer lasting, and easier to replace Lithium-Ion battery, faster signal locking (including DVB-S2 signals), faster start-up, downloads, and proof of performance scans.

Find and ID the satellite and troubleshoot with speed and precision using the AI TURBO S2 satellite meter!
