CDM-710G DVB-S2 SNG High Speed Satellite Modem

This product has been designated end of life by the manufacturer.  Please contact us for info on a suitable replacement.

The Comtech EF Data CDM-710G High-Speed Satellite Modem provides transmission of data using the same powerful DVB-S21 techniques developed for video delivery in Digital Video Broadcast (DVB) applications. It operates over satellite links with programmable symbol / data rates up to 45 Msps.

The modulation types supported include DVB-S2 QPSK, 8PSK, 16APSK and 32APSK32APSK. Constant Coding and Modulation (CCM) operation with a single input stream is provided. The unit is available in modulator only, demodulator only, and modem configurations. The terrestrial data interfaces are field-removable to allow swap out of interface types.

Comtech CDM-710G Rear RF Interface Layout

The data interfaces include the CDI-10-1 with G.703 E3/T3/STS-1, CDI-60 HSSI and CDI-70 Gigabit Ethernet.  DVB-S2 offers new opportunities for data transmission applications.  With a broad range of modulation and coding formats, it permits the user to tailor a link for the available bandwidth and power to optimize
link performance. Whether a link is point-to-point or point-to-multipoint there is a format available to suit each application. The CDM-710G is designed for generic (non-MPEG2 format) data applications. 

With a Gigabit data interface and either a 70/140 MHz or L-Band IF, the CDM-710G series is equipped with the configurations most frequently requested by users. This is ideal for data transmission formats that take advantage of the Ethernet packets for digital one-way, two-way and any network applications. The HSSI interface enables IP or other data formats via a serial interface, and telecom applications are supported with the G.703 interface.

FAST Field Upgradable

Enhancing the CDM-710G’s performance is easy. Additional features are added quickly on site, using FAST access codes purchased from Comtech EF Data. To enable these features, simply enter the code at the front panel. Other features are added with a simple module swap.


Unit Management

The operator may configure and monitor the modem from the front panel, or through the remote M&C port. Control and status is provided through the RS-232, RS-485 (2/4 wire) port or 10/100Base-T Ethernet port. The management Ethernet port supports SNMP, Telnet and HTTP (web browser) operation.
