Comtech Memotec SDM-9230 NetPerformer Satellite Router

SDM-9230 NetPerformer Satellite Router

The Comtech Memotec SDM-9230 NetPerformer Satellite router provides maximum satellite network performance and reliability in low-bandwidth environments, reduces network infrastructure costs and simplifies WAN connectivity for mission-critical applications. The NetPerformer’s voice and data compression technology, prioritization and multiplexing capabilities and the ability to route all traffic over a highly efficient cell-relay based protocol, make it the product of choice for converged voice and data applications over satellite. The NetPerformer provides a safe migration path from legacy TDM or Frame Relay networks to IP-centric networks. It includes support for the latest VoIP (SIP) and Eurocae WG67 ED-136/137 standards and robust IP/Ethernet QoS, with eight classes of service and 16 levels of prioritization to ensure that mission-critical applications always receive sufficient bandwidth. In addition, specialty features are available for handling the particulars of radar, voice push-to-talk (PTT) and VHF voice applications common to Air Traffic Control and military networks.

The SDM-9230 Integrated Access Routers maximize network performance and provide superior convergence capabilities to ensure efficient and secure transport of multiple communications services. With support for up to five expansion slots, the NetPerformer protects your investment, ensuring network scalability that matches your expansion requirements.

The SDM-8400 Serial Port Extender enables SDM-9230 users to increase serial port connectivity allowing those products to scale linearly with either 4 or 8 port extenders. The SDM-8400 supports all the same protocols and capabilities as the SDM-9230 Integrated Access Routers. Its ability to support legacy protocols, specialty voice applications and IP data make NetPerformer ideal for government, military, oil & gas, civil and military aviation authorities, industrial and multi-service VSAT applications.

Together with our Vipersat Management System and Satellite Modems or our SkyWire product, the NetPerformer is the best solution for building integrated, feature-rich, lowest OPEX, multi-service and reliable satellite networks.

Key Features

Efficient and Reliable PTT Communication

High quality transmission of Push-to-talk (PTT) interface provides complete transparency and supports a variety of analog and digital VHF systems deployed today. The signaling information can be handled either in-band, as FSK tones, out-of-band through a V24 serial interface, or directly processed from the E&M lead signals. Support of PTT is essential in civil or military air traffic and coastal authorities, and other industries.

Switched (any-to-any) Voice Support

Supporting both analog and digital interfaces with standard protocols (ISDN, QSIG, MFCR2, DTMF), NetPerformer allows interconnection to any PABX or PSTN. While supporting both VoIP and VoFR with integral voice routing plans, NetPerformer allows calls to be placed from anywhere in the network to any other site.

IP Support

Supporting new applications and traffic growth: NetPerformer‘s solution has the right built-in feature set to address new IP-based applications. Featuring a state-of-the-art IP routing protocol suite (including NAT, dynamic and static virtual routing groups and IP tunneling), the NetPerformer platform guarantees IP data transport.

Serial Support

In addition to supporting industry standard recognized protocols such as X25, Frame Relay, HDLC and PPP, the NetPerformer also support, with QoS, serial bit transparent interface over packetized network. This is particularly effective when dealing with low speed links which are particularly delay sensitive.

Increase Reliability

NetPerformer offers 1+1 system redundancy using a standard SNMP controlled A/B switch. The backup system can take over primary system(s) in the event that a system or bearer interface(s) should fail.
