Newtec Azimuth AZ128 16APSK High Speed Telco Satellite Modulator
DVB-S2, 155.52 Mbps over a 54 MHz transponder
AZ128 Telco Satcom Modulator
This product has reached end of life and has been replaced by the Newtec M6100.
The Newtec AZ128 High Speed Telco Satellite Modulator is to be used in pair with the High Speed Telco Demodulator AZ928 to establish fixed rate 155.52 Mbit/s point-to-point satellite links. The equipment interconnects seamlessly with standard terrestrial SDH / SONET networks via a STM-1 or OC-3 interface. The satellite transmission can be operated on 54 MHz or 72 MHz transponders.
DVB
The modulation is fully compliant with the DVB-S2 standard and provides exceptional power and bandwidth efficiency. When activated, the linear and non- linear predistortion option Equalink provides an additional link margin improvement of up to 2dB. In standard configuration the AZ128 operates with a 16APSK modulation scheme.
Multiple Inputs
At the output of the modulator, the signal is available on an IF-band (50–180 MHz) , L-band (950-1750 MHz) interface. Optionally, it is possible to deliver a 10MHz reference to an external upconverter. A programmable digital equalizer compensates for the external amplitude slope of the cable.
Key features
• 155 Mbit/s transmission on a 54 or 72 MHz satellite transponder
• 16 APSK modulation schemes
• Optional linear and non-linear predistortion (Equalink )
• Electrical G.703 and optical interfaces
• Full remote control and monitoring capability that easily integrates with market leading network management systems
Main advantages
• Highest link availability: the AZ128 provides the most effi cient link budget available on the market
• Lowest operational costs: full SDH/SONET link in a 54 MHz transponder
• Lowest infrastructure cost: the high power efficiency requires smaller antennas
