New CDM-650 Satellite Modem provides
state-of-the art modulation & coding to optimize satellite
bandwidth usage
March 31, 2021-- Comtech Telecommunications Corp. (NASDAQ: CMTL)
announced today that its subsidiary, Comtech EF Data Corp., a
leading provider of satellite communication equipment (together
“Comtech”), introduced a new product, the CDM-650 Satellite Modem.
The CDM-650 leverages the heritage and feature set of Comtech’s
SLM-5650B/C, CDM-625A and CDM-425 modems, which have been adopted
and deployed globally to support government and commercial
applications.
“We are pleased to introduce the new CDM-650 Satellite Modem to
address the needs of foreign government and military entities,”
said Fred Kornberg, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive
Officer of Comtech. “The advanced feature set available in the
CDM-650 provides the performance, reliability and scalability
needed for secure and mission-critical networks.”
The CDM-650 Satellite Modem was purpose-built for secure
government and military networks. The CDM-650 is suited for fixed
location, on-the-pause and on-the-move communications applications.
The product features Turbo Product Codes, three Low Density Parity
Check (“LDPC”) code families, VersaFEC®-2 high performance LDPC
short and long block forward error correction and a range of
modulation, including BPSK, QPSK, OQPSK, 8PSK, 8-QAM, and 16-QAM.
By employing the combination of state-of-the-art forward error
correction and modulation techniques, the CDM-650 can optimize
satellite transponder bandwidth usage.
In addition, Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (“DSSS”) is an
option on the CDM-650 for supporting both point-to-point and
point-to-multipoint applications in conjunction with LDPC-based
forward error correction and BPSK. The combination of advanced
features provides ultra-low power spectral densities, enabling the
use of small antennas when adjacent satellite interference is an
important consideration.
The CDM-650 offers data rates from 18 kbps to 155 Mbps and
symbol rates from 32 ksps to 64 Msps. The modem supports an
Ethernet 10/100/1000T user traffic data interface that can be used
in Bridge mode or Routed mode offering Quality of Service protocols
and traffic shaping / congestion control methods. In addition, the
modem supports backward compatibility and interoperability in
certain modes of operation with Comtech’s SLM-5650B/C, CDM-625A and
CDM-425 modems.
