We are excited to announce a new addition to our satellite meter line, our model AI Turbo S2 !
This is our new flagship satellite meter, providing even more performance and features than our Super Buddy and Super Buddy 29 meters.
Benefits of AI Turbo S2:
Much stronger, longer lasting, and easier to replace Lithium-Ion battery
Faster signal locking, including DVB-S2 signals
Faster start up, downloads, and proof of performance scans
Similarities to the Super Buddy:
Size, weight
Rugged durability
Ease of use
What does this mean to a satellite installer trying to decide between a Super Buddy and the new AI Turbo S2?
If your primary work is:
DIRECTV ---> AI Turbo S2 is the best choice
Dish Network, Bell TV, Shaw Direct --> Super Buddy is a fine choice (AI Turbo S2 offers a better battery and faster speed, though)
Commercial Ku, C band, VSAT, broadcasters, teleport, head-end --> AI Turbo S2 is the best choice
List Pricing:
Super Buddy, $679
Super Buddy 29, $699
AI Turbo S2, $859
Lead Time: We plan to begin shipping the AI Turbo S2 meters in mid to late November. Lead Time at that point will be largely dependent on the number of incoming orders.
The AI Turbo S2 will do everything the Super Buddy 29 will do, plus has the advantages listed above and more. Because of the higher price, however, we expect to continue selling many Super Buddy meters. Thank you for your continued business and feel free to contact us with any questions or comments.
