The SPAROS 609 satellite meter has been upgraded with a WiFi measurement receiver option to expand its functionality. The WiFi receiver allows the signal analyzer to detect WiFi networks and measure the signal strength of each channel. It can show information on available networks like ID, channel number, and supported protocols. Adding the WiFi receiver involves a simple firmware upgrade and restart of the device. Once activated, the WiFi option allows viewing a map of detected networks or measuring a single selected network. This upgrade makes the SPAROS analyzer a more universally useful tool.

The New WiFi Option for


SPAROS Signal Analyzer
Powerful Analyzer Becomes
Even More Functional
The excellent SPAROS 609 satellite meter of high-quality manufacturer SPAUN has
been already presented in TELE-satellite 08-09/2009. It is a very universal and
powerful TV signal analyzer suitable for satellite, cable and terrestrial signals. It
measures practically everything you could ever want to measure. In meantime, SPAUN
has expanded its range of SPAROS signal analyzers and even added an additional
measurement mode for its SPAROS series. Because everything related to basic digital
TV broadcasts has been already covered by their regular device, they turned to WiFi.
As IPTV gains in importance, WiFi signals
play also an ever larger role in
receiving TV via
the Internet.
