Comtech EF Data Corporation announced today the introduction of a new
satellite modem, the CDM-625A Advanced Satellite Modem. This latest
entrant to the award-winning family of satellite modems builds on
Comtech EF Data’s legacy of high-performance and unrivaled spectral
efficiency.
The new CDM-625A platform provides the same multidimensional
optimization and advanced functionality as the company’s flagship
CDM-625 Advanced Satellite Modem. It supports VersaFEC® and Low Density
Parity Check (LDPC) forward error correction, DoubleTalk®
Carrier-in-Carrier® bandwidth compression and the IP Packet Processor
with advanced QoS and compression. Additionally, the new CDM-625A takes
spectral efficiency to the next level by offering more filter rolloffs,
including 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25% and 35%. The additional rolloffs will
further reduce the required satellite bandwidth, thereby reducing
operating expenses associated with satellite communications.
The CDM-625A provides extended 950 to 2250 MHz L-Band support for
compatibility with upcoming High Throughput Satellites (HTS). It also
features expansion slots enabling support for future growth, additional
functionality and expandability. The CDM-625A is fully backwards
compatible with the CDM-625. In addition, the CDM-625A supports the same
1:1 and 1:N redundancy switches as the CDM-625. This compatibility
enables the new modem to be seamlessly integrated into existing
CDM-625-based networks.
“This new satellite modem will enable tighter carrier spacing so more
traffic can be packed into a transponder,” commented Daniel Enns, Senior
Vice President Marketing & Business Development for Comtech EF Data.
“New and existing customers alike will relish the high-performance and
future-proof nature of the CDM-625A Advanced Satellite Modem.”
Comtech EF Data is now accepting orders for the new modem with
deliveries starting next month. The CDM-625A will be on display in the
Comtech stand #1.F80 at IBC 2013 in Amsterdam next week.
