SatLink 2000

VSAT Indoor Unit

The SatLink 2000 is the newest and
most advanced DVB-RCS VSAT
Indoor Unit, with IP throughput up to
30 Mbps, support for DVB-S2, and
expanded DVB-RCS support for 8PSK modulation. Optionally, return links may use the new
ESA Advanced Modem with high-performance MODCODs and encapsulation. Optimized
for IP networking, its cost-effective design, packaging, and easy operation make it ideal for
Internet access services to consumers and small businesses; yet it has the advanced QoS,
traffic acceleration, VPNs and other value-added software features required for carrier-class
interactive data, voice, and video conferencing, plus multicast IP applications. Users are
connected via Ethernet. The SatLink 2000 supports various antenna options, plus BUCs/LNBs
in C, Ku, Ka and EHF bands, including STMs own Ku Band transceivers.

The SatLink 2000 VSAT is a member of a family of SatLink products and systems from STM
enabling scalable, high-availability DVB-RCS networks optimized for Internet Protocol (IP)
communications, including: VSATs, turnkey hub & gateway systems, hub components, and
value-added options for advanced data, voice and video networking via satellite.

STM is the technology and market leader in DVB-RCS satellite networks delivering
superior performance for telecom service providers, ISPs, governments and enter-
prises around the world. STM also offers teleport services, installation and integration
services, plus total managed network services.

Features & Benefits

Cost-Effective, High-Performance VSAT
SatLink 2000 offers unique performance benefits such
as throughput up to 30 Mbps and QPSK, 8PSK and
16QAM with high-gain 16-state Turbo code FECs on
TDMA return links up to 5 Msps.
Simple, Consumer-Friendly Operation
Engineered for plug & play operation and simple
enough for self-installation, the SatLink 2000 allows all
necessary software updates and remote management
via satellite from the hub.
Comprehensive IP Networking Features
SatLink delivers TCP and HTTP acceleration, VPN, NAT,
and VLAN options, plus a built-in DHCP server and both
unicast and multicast IP routing.
Advanced QoS for Data, Voice, Video
QoS Groups for bandwidth-on-demand enable delay
sensitive traffic for interactive media concurrently with
bulk data, without dedicating bandwidth per VSAT.
Compact, Fanless Packaging
Its small size, fanless design, and external power supply,
make it ideal for desktop and residential uses.
Bandwidth Efficiency at Many Levels
Advanced DVB-S2 modulation and FEC, header com-
pression, section packing & intelligent bandwidth-on-
demand algorithms enable efficient broadband
applications; the unit consumes only 64 bps when idle,
0 bps in auto-sleep mode.
ACM and Rain Fade Mitigation
Adaptive Coding and Modulation (ACM) on forward
links and adaptive FEC and symbol rate on return links
increase bandwidth efficiency and improves link
margins to mitigate rain fades.
Traffic Engineering for Large Networks
Carriers, ISPs and others gain control over bandwidth
resources in large networks using SatLink VSAT Groups
for traffic engineering. Networks with 10,000s of VSATs
are supported, and can be managed by many Virtual
Network Operators (VNOs) each with control over their
VSATs, QoS and bandwidth management policies.
BUCs up to 3 Watts with Power Control
Internal power for BUCs up to 3 Watts; automatic
power control from the hub simplifies installation, and
optimizes operation and bandwidth use.
