Q-Lite Comms-On-The-Move Satellite Modem Card

Overview

The Q-Lite™ is a compact, single-board satellite modem suitable for integration into custom enclosures for portable communications and comms-on-the-move.
The Q-Lite modem card has been designed for simple mechanical integration into OEM products, being small in size and with very low power consumption, the Modem is suitable for integration into custom enclosures for portable communications and comms-on-the-move. The unit is compatible with our QFlex-400 rack mount satellite Modem and our standard QMultiFlex-400 Hub and QFlex-400 series satellite Modems.
The Q-Lite supports Paradise Datacom’s low latency Fastlink LDPC for latency sensitive applications and DVB-S2 / DVB-S2X, the most powerful and robust modulation and coding available for the space segment, supporting modulations from QPSK to 64APSK and data rates to 345Mbps. The Modem has an extended L-band frequency range, better RF
performance, higher processing capability therefore allowing for future upgrades. Multiple serial interfaces are available or the unit may be used for L2 Bridging or L3 routing of IP traffic. In addition, the unit may be used in the highly efficient Trunking mode, where maximum performance is achieved in terms of bit rate and packets per second, with zero jitter.
It is ideal as a versatile point-to-point network modem or a remote modem in a point-to-multipoint network.
Monitoring and control of the modem is via Ethernet, with an option to fit a keypad and LCD display for local control. The Q-Lite can also be provided in a half-width and ruggedised chassis.
