Paradise has released the PD155i, a 155Mbps IP satellite modem/router offering an extensive range of network management and bandwidth optimisation features.
A 4-port Gigabit Ethernet switch, advanced
routing and Quality of Service protocols are
supported as part of the feature-rich IP functionality.
Traffic shaping allocates bandwidth in a controlled manner between competing data
streams. This allows data services — including
the satellite portion of the link — to be fully provisioned end-to-end rather than being simply
‘best effort’. Large bandwidth reductions are achieved using a range of data compression and acceleration techniques. Paired Carrier (incorporating ViaSat’s patented PCMA technology) can further halve satellite bandwidth requirements.
State-of-the-art forward-error-correction (FEC) technology includes Turbo and LDPC. Lowlatency FastLink LDPC is attractive for lowdata-rate links. Single/multistream DVB-S2 is
also supported. Embedded satellite and IP diagnostic tools are included and are the most sophisticated available on the market. The PD155i is fully compatible with all other
Quantum-series modems in IP closed modes.
