Features & Benefits :

High Capacity with Mesh & SCPC Options

The SatLink 2900 delivers 50 Mbps of download IP throughput for broadband services using either Bandwidth-on-Demand or SCPC mode and the highest spectral efficiency.  Its mesh networking option has low-blocking probability with its ability to receive 8 concurrent bursts.

Plug and Play Integrated Design

The integrated hardware design and DiSEqC interface greatly reduces installation errors while also reducing installation time and complexity.  The IDU monitors and controls actual ODU power output allowing self-install.

Scalable Management & Control

All management & control processes are engineered for large networks, with automatic software updates via multicast, efficient statistics collection, and fast, easy network-wide reconfigurations, without site visits.

Comprehensive IP Networking Features

SatLink delivers TCP and HTTP acceleration, secure VPNs, NAT, and VLAN options, as well as a built-in DHCP server and both unicast and multicast IP routing.

AES-256 Encryption Built-in

Secures all user IP traffic transparently, with support for traffic key per VSAT Group and automatic key updates.

Bandwidth Efficiency at Many Levels

With its high-order modulation options, 16-state Turbo Code FECs, ACM, header compression, burst size optimization, & intelligent capacity request algorithms, the 2900 delivers highly efficient broadband applications. 

ACM on Forward & Return Links

Adaptive Coding and Modulation (ACM) is performed on DVB-S2 forward links and RCS2 return links (per burst), enabling maximum two-way link availability. ACM is integrated with SatLink’s QoS & Traffic Engineering so key customer service levels can be met during fades.

VSAT Groups, Traffic Engineering, and QoS

SatLink allows operators (and VNOs) to set up different virtual capacity pools (with max and min rates) for each QoS class used by each of a number of VSAT Groups. This give operators more flexibility & control on the service tiers they can offer.  SatLink’s advanced QoS features enable all data and media types to use bandwidth-on-demand while key quality metrics, such as jitter, delay, and throughput, are held within bounds set for each VSAT Group and each individual VSAT.

Power Options and BUC Power

Can use either AC or 24 VDC power feed. Internal power to drive BUCs up to ~8 Watts.  Automatic power control from the hub simplifies installation and optimizes operation and bandwidth use.
