RANGERNeo 3: TV Signal & Spectrum analyzer (high-end class)

RANGERNeo 3: TV Signal & Spectrum analyzer (high-end class)

Professional signal analyzer designed for expert installers and broadcast engineers. Includes Network Delay Margin, T2-MI analysis, GPS (drive test), DAB/DAB+ digital radio plus all the RANGER Neo 2 functions.


The RANGER Neo 3 stands as the industry-standard field strength meter and spectrum analyzer for the new era of telecommunications. This advanced multi-function analyzer is specifically designed for broadcast engineers and expert installers who require a comprehensive tool for TV (DVB-T2/C2/S2), Satellite, CATV, and Wi-Fi networks.

Thanks to its next-generation technology core, it enables HEVC H.265 decoding and 4K signal analysis, ensuring compatibility with the most demanding video standards. Key technical specifications include its ultra-fast spectrum analyzer with triple split-screen display, T2-MI interface analysis, and compatibility with Wide Band LNBs. Furthermore, it integrates critical functions such as constellation diagram, dynamic echoes analysis, and an advanced IPTV analyzer.

Its ergonomic design featuring a touchscreen and over 4 hours of battery life makes it the ideal portable equipment for field work and GPS coverage audits. The RANGER Neo 3 not only facilitates the installation and maintenance of digital radio (DAB/DAB+) infrastructures but also optimizes wireless network management through its Wi-Fi real spectrum analyzer. Featuring TS-ASI connectivity and remote control via Web Server, this device is the ultimate instrumentation solution to overcome the challenges of digital convergence and professional wireless communications.
