Gilat Announces the Addition of SCPC Offering to the SkyEdge IV Aquarius Pro Modem

Gilat Satellite Networks announced that their next-generation SkyEdge IV Aquarius modem now supports SCPC mode.

The SkyEdge IV Aquarius Pro modem offers ultra-high performance over next-generation VHTS GEO and NGSO constellations.  It is the ideal solution for ultra-high throughput trunks, up to 750Mbps per direction, for a wide range of fixed and mobility applications including broadband, 4G and 5G backhauling, commercial maritime and cruise ships, and corporate enterprise services.

As part of a SkyEdge IV Network, the SkyEdge IV Aquarius Pro SCPC mode is designed to provide uninterrupted service, supporting next-generation software-defined satellites. It enables seamless operation, “make before break” NGSO satellites handover, switching between GEO and NGSO or between different GEO satellites.

“The Aquarius Pro is the first-to-market, GEO-MEO modem. It provides unique features such as DVB S2X with VLSNR, MEF L2 and unique RF combining capabilities,” said Gil Elizov, Vice President, Products.  “The addition of an SCPC offering along with TDMA and Elastix SCPC makes SkyEdge IV the most flexible system in the marketplace for any application.”
