Key highlights
Expedite is a software modem for telemetry receive and telecommand transmit, delivered as a 4U rack-mount appliance with a built-in digitizer. It supports continuous and burst operating modes with symbol rates from 100 sps to 1 Msps standard, extendable to 25 Msps. Modulation support includes BPSK, QPSK, oQPSK, GMSK, FSK, AFSK, ASK, GFSK, and PCM/PM variants. Framing covers CCSDS CADU/CLTU, AX.25, and HDLC, with RS, convolutional, BCH, and LDPC forward error correction. The integrated mission scheduler supports pass planning up to 168 hours ahead using SGP4/SDP4 ephemeris propagation. Antenna control unit instrumentation is included, with support for SPID, Yaesu, Prosistel, M2, and RotCtrl rotors. Host integration is available via TCP/IP, REST, WebSocket, and ZeroMQ. Compatible satellite transceivers include GOMSpace AX100 and AX2150, Satlab SRS-3/4, AAC Clyde Space, EnduroSat UHF II, and GAUSS. Optional extensions include CCSDS Space Link Extension (SLE) and Cortex-like streaming. Expedite integrates natively with the Remos Umoja platform for multi-site ground station orchestration, scheduling, and GSaaS network management.
