CDM‑Qx and CDM-QxL are the first satellite modems to offer DoubleTalk®
Carrier‑in‑Carrier® bandwidth compression
capability that allows transmit and receive carriers of a full‑duplex satellite link to share the same transponder space.

Man with Cell Phone ImageDoubleTalk Carrier‑in‑Carrier enables multi-dimensional optimization, thereby allowing satellite communications users to:

  • Reduce operating expenses (OPEX)
  • Increase throughput without using additional transponder resources
  • Increase availability (margin) without using additional transponder resources
  • Reduce capital expenses (CAPEX) by allowing a smaller BUC/HPA and/or antenna
  • Or, a combination to meet specific user needs
