About
In addition to our broad range of transceivers and antennas, we offer a ground modem from the Germany-based company WORK Microwave, as well as an in-house developed ground converter unit. The AX-60 Ground Modem from WORK Microwave supports the same CCSDS and DVB-S2 communication protocols as our XLink platform. It serves as the ground station counterpart for our XLink SDR Platform, with development and verification going hand-in-hand between the space and ground segments to fully ensure compatibility for the mission phase. Our Ground Converter Unit (GCU) can be effortlessly integrated into your ground segment and can act as the block between the ground station modem and antenna. The GCU will be tailored to your specific mission and requirements, providing a flexible and highly efficient broadband data communication solution for small satellites, such as CubeSats.
