Comtech DMD-1050TS L-Band Satellite Modem Board

Overview

The DMD1050TS is Comtech’s latest generation modem board set targeted to critical government and military applications.

The DMD1050TS L-Band Satellite Modem board is designed to comply with the widest possible range of U.S. Government and commercial standards and is compatible with the largest number of satellite modems in the industry. It is fully compliant with MIL-STD-188-165A, fully complies with STANAG 4486 Edition 3 (EBEM), as well as the IESS–315 commercial standards at data rates up to 37 Mbps.

The DMD1050TS L-Band Satellite Modem board offers a complete modem board with certified TRANSEC on a compact PCB daughter board. The embedded TRANSEC capability is fully compatible with the TRANSEC capabilities in Comtech EF Data’s DMD2050E and SLM-5650A Satellite Modems. The DMD1050TS also inter-operates with the ViaSat MD1366 EBEM modem.

The extensive list of integrated hardware and software options allows the user to integrate the modem on many platforms and provide an upgrade path for future networks. Options may be purchased with the product or easily upgraded in the field through the web browser or terminal port.

The DMD1050TS has an impressive remote accessibility line-up. Remote control via serial RS-232, 10Base-T SNMP Ethernet or web browser interfaces allow for monitor and control of all the modem’s features.

Both serial and bridged mode Ethernet interface compatibility with current modems, such as the CDM-570A, CDM-570AL, CDM-570, CDM-570L, CDM-625A, CDM-625, DMD220, DMD50, DMD2050, DMD2050E, SLM-5650A and MD1366 is maintained for seamless substitution and addition to your existing systems.

The DMD1050TS modem board integrates supporting hardware for BUC and LNB. Interconnects allow the user to supply external voltages and 10 MHz Reference for the LNB and 10 MHz Reference for the BUC.

Published specifications reflect the maximum DMD1050TS performance. Each DMD1050TS can be configured to customer requirements via hardware/software options applied at the factory or in the field.
