Newtec Azimuth Series AZ130 WAN Satellite Modulator
DVB-S2, Interfaces directly with terrestrial routers through HSSI
Newtec AZ130 WAN Satellite Modulator
This product has reached end of life and has been replaced by the Newtec M6100.
The AZ130 is a state-of-the-art DVB satellite modulator designed to interconnect two parts of a Wide Area Network (WAN) using routers with HSSI interfaces. This modulator can also be used in conjunction with the WAN satellite demodulator AZ930.
This AZ130 series interfaces directly with terrestrial routers through an HSSI interface with bit rates up to 52 Mbit/s (standard HSSI) or 110 Mbit/s (extended HSSI). At the output of the modulator, the signal is available on an L-band interface. IF band as well as BUC power supply and reference frequency are available as confi guration options providing a compact and cost eff ective solution.
Equalink
The AZ130 modulator is fully compliant with the DVB-S and DVB-S2 standards and provides exceptional performance and bandwidth efficiency. When activated, the unique linear and non- linear predistortion option Equalink provides an additional link margin improvement of up to 2,5dB, truly unleashing the full efficiency of higher modulation schemes such as 16- and 32APSK.
