SatXpress

PCIe S/DSNG/S2/S2X Satellite Modulator

SatXpress is a PCIe board performing High Quality satellite modulation compliant to DVB-S, DVB-DSNG, DVB-S2 and DVB-S2X Standards that can be plugged in any server environment. More and more processes are running as software solution installed on COTS Server. However RF transmissions are still mainly based on dedicated hardware. With SatXpress, first standalone PCIe satellite modulation board, invite a professional and high quality satellite modulator directly inside your server system for a better integration, to save cost and space without any compromise on your performances.

Highlights

DVB-S, DVB-DSNG, DVB-S2 & S2X Including VL-SNR

SatXpress performs high quality modulation compliant to any DVB Satellite Standards for constellations from BPSK to 256 APSK and Symbol Rate up to 80 MSymbol/s.

Crystal Spectrum for a better efficiency

SatXpress output quality constitutes a best-in-class performance, providing high SNR value, excellent shoulder levels and very low phase noise to improve your payload.

All-In-One and Standalone

In a Standard Height / Half Length PCI format, SatXpress board based on FPGA modulation offers TSoASI and TSoIP inputs and provide satellite signal on its IF / L-Band interface (with or without 10 MHz reference).

Easy to Integrate

As a standalone solution which do not require any external software process, it can be plugged in any server environment, controlled through HTML5 GUI / MIB-SNMP or SCPI-RS232 and match any system configuration.
