Key highlights

The Integrated X/S-Band Radio combines a high-throughput X-band transmitter with a full-duplex S-band transmit/receive link for command, telemetry and mission communications. It is a strong fit for LEO smallsats that need a single compact satellite radio for payload data downlink, S-band TT&C and flexible ground-segment compatibility. With DVB-S2/DVB-S2X support up to 256 APSK, ACM, optional higher X-band RF output power and 10G SFP or Nano-D data input, the radio is designed for high-volume Earth observation data, commercial constellations and other data-intensive space missions.

Applications

LEO satellites, X-band payload downlink, S-band TT&C, Earth observation satellites, smallsat constellations, CubeSat radios, telemetry and command links, high-data-rate remote sensing missions
