The CDM‑570 and the CDM-570L are entry-level satellite modems that provide industry leading performance and flexibility in a 1 RU package at a very competitive price. It is the platform of choice for Network Operators, Enterprise users, Service Providers, Broadcasters and Government users for a wide range of applications – Cellular Backhaul over IP, Voice-over-IP (VoIP), LAN/WAN connectivity, Satellite News Gathering (SNG), Communication-on-the-Move, Maritime, Off-shore applications etc.

Designed to address the market for low-cost terminals, the modems are available with 70/140 MHz or L-band IF and EIA-530/-422, V.35, EIA-232 and G.703 data interfaces. An optional Internet Protocol (IP) Module with 10/100BaseT Ethernet port is available for IP centric applications.

The advanced FPGA-based architecture along with the internal Flash memory allows for easy field upgrades via the Ethernet port.

IP ModuleBroadcast Truck Image

With its innovative architecture and support for advanced capabilities, an IP Module equipped CDM-570/L allows for efficient IP networking and transport over satellite links. It supports a wide range of applications and network topologies.

Features

  • easyConnect® for set up with minimal configuration
  • Static IP routing for unicast and multicast
  • Standards based management via SNMP, Web, or Telnet
  • IGMP v1 and v2
  • Symmetric as well as asymmetric operation for maximum bandwidth efficiency
  • Support for Mesh, STAR and hybrid network topologies
 

Options

  • Header Compression – Reduces the bandwidth required for Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) by as much as 60%. Typical Web/HTTP traffic can also be reduced by 10% via header compression.
  •  
  • Payload Compression – Configurable on a per route basis, Payload compression can reduce the required satellite bandwidth by up to 40%.
  •  
  • Quality of Service (QoS) – Supports multi-level QoS to reduce jitter and latency for real time traffic, provides priority treatment to mission critical applications and allows non-critical traffic to use the remaining bandwidth.
  •  
  • Data Encryption – Configurable on a per route basis, the IP Module supports 3xDES data encryption to prevent unauthorized access to data transmitted over the satellite link
  •  
  • Vipersat Management System (VMS) – Integrates with the powerful network management tool Vipersat Management System (VMS). In addition to the traditional Monitoring and Control of the CDM-570/L modems, CDD-564/L and CDD-562L demodulators, the VMS allows these devices to share bandwidth, and when needed, switch automatically to a dedicated SCPC channel.
