Teledyne Paradise Datacom PD20 Quantum Series IF Satellite Modem

PD20 Quantum Series IF Satellite Modem

This product has reached end of life and has been replaced by the Q-Flex series modem.

The cost effective Paradise QUANTUM Series PD20 IF-Band satellite modem combines the bandwidth saving and robustness benefits of DVB-S2 with traditional SCPC services such as TPC and FastLink Low-Latency LDPC – all in one modem. This allows the modem to provide a highly-efficient large DVB-S2 outbound and a small SCPC low-latency return, for example.

Paired Carrier Bandwidth Savings

In addition, Paired Carrier overlays transmit and receive carriers reducing satellite bandwidth by up to 50%. Paired Carrier uses ViaSat’s patented PCMA technology.

Fully Backward Compatible

Paradise Datacom QUANTUM series modems are fully backward compatible with Paradise Evolution modems when DVBS2 is disabled.
