Satellite Communications and Wireless Infrastructure
Shorten the time to ROI and maximize the life cycle of your system with a solution that is
cost-effective, scalable and upgradeable.
Your wireless infrastructure relies on high-performance, scalable signal
processing systems to process over-the-air traffic. Spectrum's flexComm
line of COTS software reconfigurable signal processing platforms is designed
specifically for the following types of applications:
- First Responder for Interoperable Homeland Security Operations
- Civil and Commercial Satellite Communications (SATCOM)
- Broadband Satellite Hubs
- Mobile Satellite Earth Stations
- Cellular Base Station Prototyping
- Other Wireless Infrastructure (e.g., Trunked Radio and Wireless Local Loop)
Spectrum's solutions in action
The Spectrum Advantage for Satellite Communications and Wireless Infrastructure
- Common hardware platform with support for multiple protocols, including
Inmarsat BGAN
- Software reconfigurable architecture enables software updates for air interface protocols
- Supports high data rate communications with low down time
Simplex Remote Telemetry Gateway Receiver for Asset Tracking and Remote Monitoring Networks: Application Note
A network operator has an Enterprise data network that provides global coverage through the use of a constellation
of satellites and corresponding gateway Earth stations.
The customer offered simplex data services focused on asset tracking and remote sensor monitoring applications
that consist of low bandwidth, infrequent transmissions that are very low power.
The customer acquired Spectrum’s flexComm Simplex Remote Telemetry Gateway Receiver with the
Back Office Server Software Package that provided their earth stations with significantly increased
capacity as well as increased sensitivity.
Finding MIMO: A Proposed Model for Incorporating Multiple Input,
Multiple Output Technology into Software Defined Radios (pdf)
This paper explores how Multiple Input, Multiple Output (MIMO) capabilities can
be inserted into radio systems in a cost affective manner after those radios are
already in service. This paper also proposes a model using software defined radio
technology as a key enabler in allowing today's emerging wireless systems to support
the future insertion of MIMO technology while minimizing overall capital investment.
Catching the Waveform: New NASA Satellite-to-Satellite Communications Take Shape (pdf)
Summary of the evolution of today's Tracking and Data Relay Satellite System (TDRSS)
and describes how a software reconfigurable platform with
heterogeneous transceiver architecture addresses the need to simulate satellite-to-satellite
links.
Leading-Edge Satellite Services (pdf)
