Q-Lite Half-Width Satellite Modem

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™ half-width compact satellite modem is provided in 9.5-inch & 10.5-inch chasses. Two 9.5-inch chasses can be fitted side-by-side in a standard 19-inch rack, saving on air-
conditioned hub space. Its small size and low power consumption also make it ideal for portable communications and comms-on-the-move.
The Q-Lite Half-Width modem 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.
Remote monitoring and control of the modem is via Ethernet.
