Failsafe technology and rock-solid design are key for rugged environment and heavy-duty operation. With its comprehensive, road-proven feature set of dust filters, extra-large heat sinks, and special surge protection, the two-way, high-performance MDM3100 IP Satellite Modem is ideal for corporate and specialized applications for vertical markets, such as Mobile Trunking, Rural Telephony, Second Mile, and SME. 

The MDM3100 IP Satellite Modem has been designed to be fully compliant with the AFRIKASATSoln system specifications for ease of installation and use for continuous or unmanned operations. The modem is suitable for most broadband applications: from VoIP services to video conferencing and broadcast-quality Satellite News Gathering (SNG) services. The terminal facilitates 4 mbps download and 2 mbps upload and features IP forwarding, NAT, DHCP, GRE tunneling for VPN, Multicast and automatic login. 

Its comprehensive feature set is rounded out by a unique LCD panel that facilitates intuitive control and monitoring of parameters without the need of a PC.

Features:

  • Cost optimized design.
  • Indoor Unit provides connectivity to Data, Voice and Video.
  • Outdoor Unit consists of a small size dish antenna with a Ku-Band receiver and transmitter.
  • Receiver data rates supported up to 4 Mbps.
  • Transmitter data rates supported up to 2 Mbps.* Lower cost versions for Internet access services will offer low return data rates compatible with Internet browsing and VoIP.
  • Adaptive Coding and Modulation (ACM) for most reliable operation even under the most severe weather conditions. 
  • Forward link  waveform for maximum flexibility and efficiency.
  • Return link  waveform automatically adapts to user traffic characteristics to maximize capacity.
  • Advanced IP protocol enhancements for optimum performance over AFRIKASATSoln/conventional satellites.
  • Make use of TCP accelerator – NettGain product – to optimize system throughput.
  • Can be configured as always on system or manual login / logoff system.
  • Software VoIP support and optional hardware phone handset.
