Datum PSM-500L L-Band Satellite Modem

Datum PSM-500L L-Band Satellite Modem

The PSM-500L is the ultimate L-Band modem. Datum Systems designed this latest low cost modem specifcally for small low cost VSAT type earth stations. It matches the performance and features of the PSM-500, but connects directly to the L-Band input of a BUC and output of an LNB to eliminate the normal expensive transmit and receive converter equipment. This modem uses all of Datum Systems proprietary design technology implementations to achieve the best performance and reliability in the industry. The PSM-500 is the best modem value available.

Advanced FlexLDPC – With unparalleled conguration exibility and
superior coding gain, FlexLDPC takes FEC technology innovation
to the next level, bringing strong economic advantages to satellite
service providers and their customers. Granular code rates and block sizes
get you the most out of your available satellite bandwidth and spectral
power, while keeping processing latency at the desired level.

SCPS TCP/IP Acceleration – Datum Systems provides an embedded
protocol acceleration option based on the Space Communication
Transport Specication (SCPS-TP). Our integrated optimization
software provides increases in IP packet throughput over TCP/IP
links via our Ethernet IP interface option.

BUC/LNB Power & Reference – The PSM-500L provides an optional
external BUC capability for maximum power exibility, swappable voltage
and power options. LNB power is standard from an integrated power supply.

A High Stability10 MHz reference is also provided through the modem
Transmit (N-Type) and Receive (F-Type) connections at the rear. Reference,
BUC and LNB power may be disabled via the front panel. Front panel voltage
and current measurements are available for BUC and LNB monitoring.


Easy Feature Unlocks – The PSM-500LT can be easily upgraded via front
panel key codes. Upgrades are simple to implement and are available
in precongured software versions, oering a variety of options
for modulation, FEC and data rates up to 29.5Mbps.

Redundancy Built-in 1:1 redundancy comes standard on the
PSM-500LT and supports BUC/LNB power and reference switching.
It can be enabled through the front panel and requires only a few
external cables and power splitters.
