Comtech SLM-5650C2 & SLM-5650C2 ODU™ Software Defined Modems

Overview

The SLM-5650C2 & SLM-5650C2 ODU Software Defined Modems are our latest generation multi-waveform software-defined modems for government and military users, as well as small commercial SatCom terminals. Featuring extremely compact form factors and a broad range of software options, the SLM-5650C2 & SLM-5650C2 ODU are designed to comply with the widest possible range of U.S. Government and commercial standards and provide an upgrade path to support your future network needs.

The modems are designed to comply with the widest possible range of U.S. Government and commercial standards and are compatible with the largest number of satellite modems in the industry. MIL-STD-188-165A certified at data rates up to 165 Mbps, symbol rates up to 64 Msps and Chip Rates to 64 Mcps. The modems are certified for use over WGS.

The modems feature AES-256 TRANSEC that is fully compatible with our SLM-5650A, SLM-5650B and SLM5650C Satellite Modems.

The SLM-5650C2 & SLM-5650C2 ODU offer unparalleled protection of your critical network traffic using advanced physical layer waveforms and proven TRANSEC protection to meet your Assured Communication requirements.

There are two packaging options. The SLM-5650C2 is an indoor product that operates from -10°C to +55°C using conduction cooling. The heat is transferred from the electronics to the housing and then out of the housing to an external mounting surface such as a trailer wall. The SLM-5650C2 ODU is a true IP67 rated Outdoor Unit (ODU) that is designed to meet MIL-STD-810G that operates from -32°C to +60°C.

Building on our expertise with the installed and proven SLM-5650A, SLM-5650B and SLM5650C Satellite Modems, the design minimizes size, weight, and power (SWaP) of the SLM-5650C2 & SLM-5650C2 ODU, while greatly increasing the processing resources and reducing the maximum power consumption for like functionality with previous versions.

The SLM-5650C2 also increases functionality with the addition of a high-speed multi-core packet processor to support, QoS and L2/L3 routing along with an upgraded FIPS 140-3 TRANSEC module (NIST certification in process).
