Comtech NetPerformer Satellite Router

OVERVIEW

The NetPerformer Satellite Routers combine the functionality of a data router, a multi-

plexer and a voice gateway in a single device, enabling users to create converged net-

works and transport any type of traffic over satellite or terrestrial links.

Designed to provide maximum network performance and reliability in low-bandwidth en-

vironments, the NetPerformer reduces network infrastructure costs and simplifies WAN

connectivity for mission-critical applications. The NetPerformer’s voice and data com-

pression technology, prioritization and multiplexing capabilities and the ability to route

all traffic over a highly efficient cell-relay based protocol, make it the product of choice

for converged voice and data applications over satellite. The NetPerformer provides a

safe migration path from legacy TDM or Frame Relay networks to IP-centric networks. It

includes support for the latest VoIP (SIP) and Eurocae WG67 ED-136/137 standards and

robust IP/Ethernet QoS, with eight classes of service and 16 levels of prioritization to en-

sure that mission-critical applications always receive sufficient bandwidth. In addition,

specialty features are available for handling the particulars of radar, voice push-to-talk

(PTT) and VHF voice applications common to Air Traffic Control and military networks.

The SDM-9140 and SDM-9120 Integrated Access Routers maximize network performance

and provide superior convergence capabilities to ensure efficient and secure transport

of multiple communications services. With support for up to four expansion slots, the

NetPerformer protects your investment, ensuring network scalability that matches your

expansion requirements.

The SDM-8400 Serial Port Extender enables SDM-9140 or SDM-9120 users to increase se-

rial port connectivity allowing those products to scale linearly with either 4 or 8 port ex-

tenders. The SDM-8400 supports all the same protocols and capabilities as the SDM-9140

and SDM-9120 Integrated Access Routers.

Its ability to support legacy protocols, specialty voice applications and IP data make Net-

Performer ideal for government, military, oil & gas, civil and military aviation authorities,

industrial and multi-service VSAT applications.
