Lacuna Systems manufacture portable satellite broadcast identification meters in use throughout the world. The installation meters are essential equipment where precise identification is crucial - especially true in digital (DVB/DSS) transmission set-up in both the C band and Ku band ranges. With easy adjustment and calibration the local installer can perform more accurate dish alignment quickly leading to fewer callbacks.

The meters are programmable, user friendly and ideal for installation of VSAT, internet-over-satellite systems as well as the digital television antenna. Analysing the data stream they give precise identification of the satellite desired and ignore any others in the arc.

With the advent of digital terrestrial television like the BBC digital, Freeview system Lacuna has launched the TM2 meter. The growth in this field has exceeded all expectations. Remember that the UK government plan to shut down analogue broadcasts by 2006! A lot of aerials will need to be replaced and the engineer can easily install and calibrate using this portable meter.

Lacuna Systems have developed large and small motorized, self-seeking dish systems that will lock on the precise signal from any location, with a user-friendly TV interface. These units can be installed free-standing, or on motor caravans or RV units.

All digital broadcast installations must be precise and Lacuna Systems are manufacturers of the installation equipment required, with user-friendly interfaces and updateable with programmable datasets ensuring a long life in the field.
