Comtech ELEVATE CEL-200 Series Universal Satellite Router

Key Features:
Comtech ELEVATE is a scalable, reliable, software-defined solution that
brings together the best of Comtech’s popular Heights and MF-TDMA
VSAT platforms in a first-of-its-kind leading-edge architecture featuring D- ▪ Dynamic Return Access Modes (D-RAM)
automatically and seamlessly selects MF-
RAM (Dynamic Return Access Modes) that allows dynamic seamless TDMA or H-DNA return access schemes
shifting between MF-TDMA and H-DNA waveforms. Comtech’s software-
▪ Two independent DVB demodulators with
defined technology allows the creation of private VSAT Networks of any
separate software-switchable IF inputs and
size and topology with unlimited potential for future development. rate up to 500 Msps

Comtech ELEVATE CEL-200 is a universal VSAT router with Software- ▪ Efficient DVB-S2/S2X ACM modulations
Defined Architecture. The device packs industry-highest processing with 5% or 20% roll-off and support for
wideband HTS transponders
capability into a very compact size with power consumption under 12W. It
can process up to 450 Mbps of aggregate traffic. CEL-200 comprises two ▪ Multichannel MF-TDMA demodulators and
proven efficiency of >97% vs. SCPC
DVB demodulators, four TDMA burst demodulators, a universal TDMA/H-
DNA/SCPC modulator and a powerful IP router capable of processing over ▪ Multiple demodulators allow simultaneous
190,000 IP packets per second (PPS). The high processing capability reception of two DVB (TDM or SCPC)
carriers and a group of MF-TDMA carriers
allows implementation of uniquely efficient protocols for network access,
resource allocation and data encapsulation as well as support for advanced ▪ Adaptive coding and modulation (ACM) in
MODCODs. forward and return channels, including
SCPC and D-RAM modes

▪ Ultra-low latency VSAT system with round-

trip delay about 570 ms for TDMA mode of
operation

▪ Various modes of operation and topologies:

SCPC, TDM/TDMA, TDM/H-DNA, Hubless
