RANGER mini: TV and Satellite analyzer for RF, CATV, DOCSIS and optical fibre analyzer

Aiming terrestrial antennas and satellite dishes, analyzing DOCSIS and installing optical fibre. The cost effective all-in-one compact analyzer for RF, CATV and optical fibre


The RANGER mini by PROMAX redefines efficiency in the certification of telecommunications networks. This multi-standard field strength meter is the ultimate professional solution for the deployment and maintenance of Digital TV systems (DVB-T2/S2, ISDB-T), DOCSIS CATV cable networks, and FM radio. Its ultra-compact and ruggedized design makes it the lightest and toughest handheld tool for outdoor technical work.

Optimized for the transition to next-generation networks, the RANGER mini offers an optional fiber optic analyzer with an optical-to-RF converter, facilitating comprehensive diagnostics in HFC and FTTH infrastructures. Thanks to its intuitive touch interface, it allows for real-time spectrum analysis and provides critical quality metrics (MER, preBER, postBER, and constellation diagram) on a single screen.

Ideal for broadcast engineers and outside plant technicians, this device includes advanced datalogger functions for automatic network audits and LNB powering (13V, 18V, 22kHz). If you are looking for a portable test equipment that combines technological versatility, global compatibility, and laboratory precision in a pocket-sized format, the PROMAX RANGER mini is the leading benchmark in the radiocommunications and digital television instrumentation market.
