C-COM Satellite Systems Inc. (TSXV: CMI) has successfully completed the integration of the UHP-200 modem with its iNetVu® 8000 series antenna controllers — the new modem is now fully compatible with all C-COM antenna systems using OpenAMIP interface.
Working closely with its long time Canadian reseller partner, Edmonton- and Mississauga-based Galaxy Broadband Communications, C-COM’s Manpack antenna systems (iNetVu® MP-80 and MP-100) were tested by Galaxy over their new e115 Ku Beam, which provides powerful coverage over northern North America and all three oceans.
The C-COM Manpacks auto-acquired the satellite in under 60 seconds and delivered speeds equal to a fixed 1.2M system. Galaxy Broadband also noted that only a 1dB drop off was seen when using a smaller 80cm dish, which is an impressive feature for those looking at efficiency gain.
The compatibility of the iNetVu® Controllers with the UHP-200 router provides an advantage to C-COM partners who are currently using, or considering, the newest UHP modem. The UHP-200 has a compact size, consumes only 9W of power, can process 190,000 IP packets per second and deliver data transmission rates of up to 220 Mbps in each direction with DVBS2X or TDMA waveform.
