iDirect MDM6000 Satellite Modem

The MDM6000 Satellite Modem is a versatile high performance modem which allows service providers and government operations to increase the amount of services or the customer base within the same bandwidth. At the same time it introduces ways to reduce OPEX costs and increase the profitability of their business at maximum efficiency and optimum availability.

The MDM6000 modem is typically installed at both ends of a point-to-point satellite link or at the remote sites of a star network. The unit can work as a modulator, demodulator or modem depending on the network configuration and integrates seamlessly with terrestrial IP networks and equipment. The modem is in full compliance with the DVB-S2 and DVB-S2X standards to achieve barrier-breaking efficiency at maximum service availability.

In applications demanding higher speeds and packets-per-seconds processing than those offered by the stand-alone MDM6000, the MDM6000 High Speed solution can be used. It adds an external packet processor that handles shaping, bandwidth management and encapsulation to achieve up to 850 Mbps and 800 kpps duplex.
