CDM-Qx & CDM-QxL Multi-Channel Satellite Modems

 

  • Overview
  • Key Features
  • Users & Applications
  • Accessories

Man with Cell Phone ImageCDM‑Qx and CDM-QxL offer the 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.

DoubleTalk 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
