Two Industry-Leading Brands
We offer two industry-leading brands and the widest range of bandwidth-efficient modems in the satellite industry. Our modems use technologically advanced components, innovative designs and application software for superior performance and features. Whether used to support satellite-based cellular backhaul, to enable broadcast transmissions, to power mission-critical military communications, or to connect remote offices, our innovative technologies offer the performance, flexibility, security and control you require. The functionality provided by our modems enables users to:
Forward Error Correction (FEC) & Modulation
We offer traditional and advanced methods of forward error correction to improve performance of error-prone channels. Examples of our advanced FEC are:
We have both ASIC and FPGA modulator and demodulator designs with a range of modulation techniques, including BPSK, QPSK, OQPSK, 8-PSK, 16-APSK, 32-APSK, 8-QAM, 16-QAM and 64-QAM.
The combination of advanced FEC and higher order modulation provides increased coding gain, lower decoding delay, plus significant bandwidth and power savings. DoubleTalk Carrier-in-Carrier
Our award-winning DoubleTalk Carrier-in-Carrier is based on Applied Signal Technology’s patented “Adaptive Cancellation” technology that allows transmit and receive carriers of a duplex link to share the same transponder space. When combined with our advanced FEC and modulation, DoubleTalk Carrier-in-Carrier delivers unprecedented savings in transponder bandwidth and power utilization. Therefore, this revolutionary technology can be successfully deployed in both bandwidth-limited and power-limited scenarios. In addition, this technology reduces earth station BUC/HPA power requirements allowing the use of a smaller BUC/HPA and/or antenna.Adaptive Coding and Modulation (ACM)
Rain fade, inclined orbit satellite operation, antenna pointing errors, noise and interference can all degrade satellite link conditions. These conditions determine the overall link margin of a system. When utilizing ACM operation in our modems, link margin can be converted into increased throughput of satellite links. The greater the link margin, the more your links can benefit from ACM.
Advanced IP Functionality
Modems with our advanced IP functionality allow seamless network convergence for data, voice and video traffic. Available options include header compression, payload compression, ultra low overhead streamline encapsulation and quality of service. When utilizing the advanced IP functionality, real-time traffic and other low priority traffic can seamlessly coexist on the same link without impacting the voice quality or delivery of mission critical data. The functions provide high bandwidth efficiency, information security and simplified network design/configuration.RAN Optimization
Modems featuring RAN optimization can significantly reduce the wide area network (satellite) bandwidth required to carry an E1 bearer used for cellular backhaul. RAN optimization allows users to control the desired level of optimization and link quality.
Redundancy
To support your mission-critical applications, we offer 1:1 and M:N redundancy solutions. Options include external switch compatibility and on-board, built-in redundancy with either fully automatic or manual switching operations.
Flexibility
Enabling deployment in remote and hub environments, we offer both L-Band and 70/140 MHz systems plus data rates from 2.4 kbps to 238 Mbps. We provide the options you need for operation with single or multiple transponders, and configurations to accommodate low noise block converters and block up converters. Our product line includes open and closed network modems. For open network operation and framing, we are compliant with Intelsat IESS-308, -309, -310, -314 and -315, as well as broadcast DVB-S and DVB-S2 standards. We offer several variants of a Drop & Insert multiplexer to transmit/receive fractional parts of an E1/T1 data stream. And, a wide range of data interfaces is available to support low- and high-speed data transmission.Government Networks
We offer modems ideally suited for military and government applications, engineered to meet a range of standards, including:
Management & Control
A number of methods are available for controlling and managing our satellite modems:
