Spectrum Signal Processing has announced the flexComm SDR-2000 SRDP, a satellite communications (SATCOM) rapid-prototyping and development platform.
This fully integrated "IF to Ethernet" commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) software defined radio platform is designed for the rapid development and deployment of satellite ground stations supporting bi-directional communications with multiple remote terminals.
This is the second product in Spectrum's family of rapid-prototyping and development platforms, which follows the SDR-3000 MRDP, a military communications (MILCOM) platform launched in November 2004.
The SDR-2000 SRDP is a PCI/PCI-X-based platform incorporated on a 2U Dual Intel Xeon server supporting Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES.
The system is architected to support the multiple simultaneous carriers inherent in the frequency allocation schemes typical in many single channel per carrier (SCPC) and multi-frequency time division multiple access (MF-TDMA)-based satellite networks.
The SDR-2000 SRDP is immediately deployable in many SATCOM settings and facilitates rapid technology demonstration through easy programming. Additional benefits and features of this platform can be found
