Calian Transporter-L RF Digitizer
Transporter-L RF digitizer
Ideal for converting analog signals to and from digital packets to streamsatellite signals across the world
Transporter-L converts analog signals to and from digital signals that can be transferred across any IP network. When the packets arrive at their destination, the samples can be processed digitally or restored to the original analog signal.
Transporter-L has a very low noise floor and a large dynamic range that’s ideal for digitizing any type of satellite carrier in a gateway, teleport or broadcast facility. It accepts all signals from 950 MHz to 2150 MHz, and input power levels can range from -60 to +5 dBm, making Transporter-L ideal for digitizing both high and low power satellite signals.
Transporter-L is signal agnostic, so FDMA, TDMA and CDMA signals from satellites of all different types of orbits (GEO, MEO, LEO) are supported. Transporter-L can be connected to an external 10 MHz reference for improved frequency accuracy and stability, and to assist in preserving signal timing.
The HTML5-based user interface allows Transporter-L to be operated from all browsers and on all platforms including Android and IOS devices. With powerful internal FPGA processing, Transporter-L uses state-of-the-art digital technology to preserve signal quality and timing.
The powerful Graphical User Interface (GUI) is available using any HTML5 standard web browser, no additional software is required. All data communications from the user interface occurs securely via the built-in Ethernet port using HTTPS. Trasporter-L provides network access to all staff connected to the facility network or a corporate wide area network, so users can configure and monitor the unit any time and from any location in the world using only a web browser. For integration into a larger system, Transporter-L can be automated through a REST or API.
Potential applications for the Transporter-L satellite communications digitizer are numerous, but some of the potential uses cases are:
- Virtualization
- Digitalization
- Site diversity
- Security
- Monitoring
- Recording
Advantages of the Digital IF (RF over IP) technology found inside Transporter-L include:
- Scalability
- Flexibility
- Efficiency
- Enchaced signal quality
- Resiliency
- Reliability
- Interoperability (DIFI standards-based)
- Mechanical performance
