About this app

Aim your antenna in minutes, without climbing up twice.

SynapseAR uses your phone's compass, inclinometer and camera to show you in augmented reality where to point the antenna. Azimuth and elevation appear on screen, you move the dish to the marker, and you're done.

WHAT IT DOES
• Real-time azimuth and elevation, no manual calculations
• Augmented reality view through the camera
• Satellite and transmitter database
• Works offline, using your device sensors
• Simple interface, no technical background needed

WHICH ANTENNAS
Satellite TV dishes. DTT and terrestrial television antennas. Yagi and directional antennas. Rural internet and WiFi links. Ham radio antennas.

WHO IT IS FOR
Antenna installers and telecom technicians. First-time dish owners. RVs, campers and motorhomes that realign at every stop. Rural areas on antenna internet. Ham radio operators.

WHY IT MATTERS
A few degrees change the signal completely. An antenna that ended up close enough works on a clear day and drops the moment it rains. SynapseAR gets the orientation right from the start.

WHAT YOU NEED
An Android phone with a compass and accelerometer. Accuracy depends on your device sensors and can be affected by nearby metal structures: step back from the antenna when taking your reading.

SynapseAR helps you find the correct orientation. Final signal quality also depends on the antenna, the LNB, the cabling and surrounding obstacles.
