Advantech Wireless Launches High Throughput Satellite Modems

April 13, 2016

Advantech Wireless, launched the AMT-50/50X family of advanced SCPC modems with bi-directional throughputs ranging from 100Kbps to 850Mbps and industry leading carrier echo cancellation technology. These new modems support all latest DVB-S2X standard’s modulation and coding: from BPSK to up to 256APSK, delivering spectral efficiency improvements of up to 60% leading to substantial satellite bandwidth savings. 

The AMT-50 supports bandwidths of up to 36Msps suitable for a 36MHz transponder including the DVB-S2X time slice number concept. The AMT-50X reaches up to 80Msps suitable for a 72MHz transponder or up to an 80MHz DVB-S2X time slice. Both models support multiple waveforms such as DVB-S/S2/S2X, Carrier Echo Cancellation and other cutting-edge features such as ASI inputs/outputs to support video, L2/L3 switch/router with a built-in QoS/PEP and CID as mandated by the FCC. 

"The AMT-50 and AMT-50X High Throughput Satellite Bandwidth Saving SCPC Modems are a valuable addition to Advantech’s SCPC portfolio. Adding state-of-the-art spectral efficiency features such as Carrier-Echo-Cancellation, as well as advanced waveforms such as DVB-S2X, NS3 and NS4, these SCPC modems deliver unprecedented 40% to 60% satellite bandwidth savings over DVB-S2. Fully integrated into Advantech Wireless management systems, the AMT-50/50X are part of Advantech Wireless’ leading A-SAT-II™ satellite communications family,” said Oscar Glottmann, CMO of Advantech Wireless’ Satellite Networks Business Unit.
