Overview
•The SatPal™ Controller, together with the SatPal™ app, is an all-in-one antenna installation tool, allowing installers and DTH operators to control the quality of their antenna installations. It includes a Sat Finder, a professional grade Sat Meter and a unique installation wizard that generates comprehensive reports with a click of a button.
The Sat Meter includes a real time spectrum analyzer and allows professional measurements of signal strength and quality, including MER, BER, PER, C/N and link margin.

Inverto’s SatPal™ is an exciting new development assisting installers to guarantee the quality of their antenna installations, manage their installations
and generate full audit details of them – all using the intuitive and easy to use SatPal™ App (iOS and Android supported).
With SatPal™, the installer’s smartphone becomes a powerful installation tool which is not only able to display the signal level and quality but to store
the installation details including the location of the installation (via GPS), the list and details of the equipment installed and capture photos of the
installation for future reference. A comprehensive report is then generated and sent out to a dedicated email address which the user sets up in the App.
If the installer does not have email access at the time of the installation then the report will be emailed as soon as he is back on-line. The report gives
full traceability of the equipment used, the quality of the instillation and the signal performance in one simple report.
The SatPal™ solution is ideal for both operators who want to be able to better monitor and record the data of their installations or by installer or service/
maintenance companies who wants a record of their installs.
The SatPal™ also allows the installer to configure (if required by the operator), diagnose and troubleshoot installation issues of any Inverto’s Unicable ll™
LNB or Multiswitch installation. It allows monitoring of operational parameters of Unicable ll™ products such as the spectrum of the received satellite
signal, retrieving diagnostic data, reading, editing and updating configuration files as well as the unit’s firmware and more.
SatPal™ was designed as a tool for the installer to use in the field. The benefit of being able to support the initial installation through the smartphone
App which can then generate a detailed installation report makes the product unique. The smartphone App allows an intuitive and easy use of the
Unicable ll™ diagnostic and programming features.
The SatPal™ small form factor and the options to power it via a standard power pack or from the installed receiver allows the user to have an enormously
powerful installation tool at a truly affordable price.
