CDM-570A Modem

The CDM-570A and the CDM-570AL are our next generation satellite modems that provide industry-leading performance and flexibility in a 1 RU package at a very competitive price. With support for VersaFEC-2 high performance LDPC and VersaFEC® low latency LDPC Forward Error Correction (FEC), the revolutionary DoubleTalk® Carrier-in-Carrier® bandwidth compression, and optimized transmit filter rolloffs, the CDM-570A and CDM-570AL provide significant bandwidth savings. This combination of advanced technologies enables multi- dimensional optimization, allowing satellite communications users to:

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

The modems are available with 70/140 MHz or L-Band IF and EIA-530/-422, V.35, sync EIA-232 and G.703 T1/E1 data interfaces. The CDM-570A/L-IP include a high-performance packet processor for IP-centric applications.
