Satellite Delivery Technologies

Spacenet supports the latest satellite technology including:

FTDMA is supported by SkyEdge I and SkyEdge II

FTDMA

Frequency-Time Division Multiple Access
FTDMA automatically balances inbound traffic across all channels by allowing individual remote sites to transmit on any channel at any time.


DVB-RCS works with SkyEdge II and other VSATs

DVB-RCS

Digital Video Broadcasting - Return Channel
DVB-RCS is a digital broadcasting format created in 1999 and commercialized in 2003, and it allows for bidirectional IP connectivity over the satellite link.


SCPC works with Comtech EF Data, ND Satcom and others

SCPC

Single Channel per Carrier
SCPC refers to using a single signal at a given frequency and bandwidth so the satellite bandwidth is dedicated to a single source. With Multiple channels per carrier (MCPC), on the other hand, uses several subcarriers that are combined into a single bitstream before being modulated onto a carrier transmitted from a single location to one or more remote sites.

“With our medical vehicle being on the road on a scheduled basis, Spacenet’s part-time satellite services are an ideal choice for us, providing a cost-effective way to meet our real-time data communications needs.”
