About

The AX-80 Wideband Modem is an end-to-end wideband transmit and receive solution capable of up to 500 Msps. It offers full throughput with 256APSK, reaching up to 3 Gbps per direction, and provides full IP connectivity over DVB links in the Gigabit-per-second-class. Featuring 10G Ethernet interfaces, it allows for high-speed integration into terrestrial networks. The modem includes real-time monitoring and control, along with powerful IP processing capabilities to support the fastest link available over satellite. Key features include DVB-S2X compliance, modulations up to 256APSK, symbol rates up to 500 Msps, and data rates up to 3 Gbps per direction. It also offers integrated Roll-Off options (35%, 25%, 20%, 15%, 10%, 5%), exceptionally clean signal output, internal processing, and predistortion for automatic group delay and nonlinearity compensation. The AX-80 operates as a layer 3 bridge or layer 3 router, including traffic shaping and QoS functionality, and features an ACM controller open to various ACM systems, as well as integrated GSE and MPE encapsulation. Its customizable processing infrastructure and flexible software architecture allow for easy integration into large communication systems and future virtualization of functionality.
