STM SatLink 2910 VSAT - Manual

The SatLink 2910 sets the industry
benchmark in IP throughput at
150 Mbps for a single TDM/TDMA VSAT. With ACM on all carriers and advanced QoS support
for all media types, it is ideal for demanding carrier networks and professional applications.
TCP & HTTP acceleration operate at up to 10 Mbps per connection. It also has many other
special features, such as: AES encryption, options for mobile configurations, an SCPC mode,
and a built-in mesh networking option for added versatility. The SatLink 2910, like its smaller
cousin the SatLink 2000, also delivers the best spectral efficiency by using the international
DVB-RCS2 standard supporting QPSK, 8PSK, and 16QAM on TDMA carriers and modulation
up to 32APSK on DVB-S2 TDM carriers. It also has all the value-added IP networking features
customers expect in SatLink networks. The SatLink 2910 supports various antenna options,
with BUCs/LNBs in C, Ku, Ka, X, and EHF bands, including STM’s own Ku Band transceivers.
The SatLink 2910 VSAT is a member of a family of SatLink products and systems from STM
enabling scalable, high-availability DVB-RCS & DVB-RCS2 networks including: VSATs, Hubs,
and Hub components, with value-added options for advanced data, voice, and video
networking via satellite. STM is the technology and market leader in DVB-RCS & DVB-RCS2
satellite networks delivering superior performance for telecom service providers, ISPs,
governments, and enterprises around the world. STM also offers integration, installation, 24x7
global support, and managed network services.
SatLink 2910
High-Performance VSAT Indoor Unit
The SatLink 2910 delivers the highest IP throughput at
150 Mbps (Tx & Rx combined) and the highest spectral
efficiency of any TDM/TDMA VSAT. It also matches or
exceeds most SCPC modems. When using Bandwidth-
on-Demand it yields much higher total efficiency gains.
● Best IP Throughput & Total Efficiency
Features & Benefits
Can use either AC or 24 VDC power feed. Internal
power to drive BUCs up to ~8 Watts. Automatic power
control from the hub simplifies installation and optimizes
operation and bandwidth use.
● Power Options and BUC Power
Secures all user IP traffic transparently, with support for
traffic key per VSAT Group and automatic key updates.
● AES-256 Encryption Built-in
SatLink delivers TCP and HTTP acceleration, secure
VPNs, NAT, and VLAN options, as well as a built-in
DHCP server and both unicast and multicast IP routing.
● Comprehensive IP Networking Features
All management & control processes are engineered
for large networks, with automatic software updates
via multicast, efficient statistics collection, and fast,
easy network-wide reconfigurations, without site visits.
● Scalable Management & Control
The integrated hardware design and DiSEqC interface
greatly reduces installation errors while also reducing
installation time and complexity. The IDU monitors and
controls actual ODU output power allowing self-install.
● Plug & Play Integrated Design
SatLink allows operators (and VNOs) to set up different
virtual capacity pools (with max and min rates) for
each QoS class used by each of a number of VSAT
Groups. This give operators more flexibility & control on
the service tiers they can offer. SatLink’s advanced
QoS features enable all data and media types to use
bandwidth-on-demand while key quality metrics, such
as jitter, delay, and throughput, are held within bounds
set for each VSAT Group and each individual VSAT.
● VSAT Groups, Traffic Engineering, and QoS
Adaptive Coding and Modulation (ACM) is performed
on DVB-S2 forward links and RCS2 return links (per burst),
enabling maximum two-way link availability. ACM is
integrated with SatLink’s QoS & Traffic Engineering so
key customer service levels can be met during fades.
● ACM on Forward & Return Links
● Bandwidth Efficiency at Many Levels
With its high-order modulation options, 16-state Turbo
Code FECs, ACM, header compression, burst size opti-
mization, & intelligent capacity request algorithms, the
2910 delivers highly efficient broadband applications.
