Newtec MDM5000 Satellite Modem

Newtec has added the MDM5000 Satellite Modem to its Newtec Dialog multiservice platform, designed for the high-end mobility, trunking and HTS markets.

The VSAT modem supports wideband DVB-S2X and is capable of receiving forward carriers of up to 140 MHz, and processing over 200 Mbps of throughput. On the return channel, it supports SCPC, TDMA and Newtec’s Mx-DMA technology, up to 75 Mbps. Mx-DMA delivers the efficiency of SCPC with bandwidth allocation capabilities of MF-TDMA, offering more than 50% efficiency gains.

With forward symbol rates from 1 to 133 Mbaud and coding up to 256APSK, the device will boost efficiency and performance on legacy satellites while utilising the potential of next-generation high-throughput satellites (HTS). It is capable of handling a range of IP services, including internet and intranet access, VoIP, mobile backhauling and trunking, as well as video contribution and multicasting.

As with previous models, the device incorporates Layer-3 routing, advanced quality of service (QoS), TCP acceleration, pre-fetching, compression and encryption. It also supports a new Layer-2 mode, facilitating integration with various networking topologies and routing protocols, like MPLS and BGP. The modem comes equipped with dual demodulators for future seamless beam switching on HTS networks.
