Idle and QoS Dormant MinIR Enhancements Evolution X1 Features
Compact, low-power remotes ideal for large-scale
networks • X1 Remote • Indoor and Outdoor versions • Low power requirements • Bundled with Universal LNB/BUC • AC or DC power supplies • Core Feature set • DVB-S2 outbound, up to 2 Msps inbound • Single client or limited routing • VLAN support, DHCP relay server • Robust QoS • Multicast up to 40Mbps • Extended L-Band Interface Evolution X1 Outdoor Features
Hardened remote ideal for outdoor usage
• Outdoor hardened remote
• IP67 enclosure for extreme temperatures • Pole mountable • Power supply options • IP67 enclosure • AC and 12/24V DC power • Optimized for low power • Powers up to a 3W BUC • Solar/battery capable X1 Web iSite
New web interface for easier installation
• Web-based iSite for remote commissioning
• No need for PC client on the installers laptop • Streamlined information • Dashboard • Status – Modem, IP, Ethernet and Events • Commissioning – Angle calculator, antenna pointing & cross-pol • Admin – Options files Narrowband XLC-M License
• Optimal support for networks with a large
number of small return channels • New Multi-channel demod Narrowband license • Supports up to sixteen 128ksps return channels • Existing XLC-M line card
• Benefits • Increases hub scalability – single hub, thousands of remotes • Optimized for small return channels • Reduces cost per remote site • Limits power and bandwidth required at remote site with smaller antennas and more affordable ODU QoS Enhancements Benefits
• Reduces bandwidth to keep idle remotes in network
• Improves efficiency while maintaining network reliability • Do not have to reacquire into network like sleep mode • Guaranteed SLAs iDX 3.1 Summary
• New cost-effective, compact, and low-power
remotes • New web interface for easier installation • Improved Return Channel Economics with a narrowband line card • Non-contention based for improved efficiency and network reliability
• Adaptive TDMA returns • Outbound DVB-S2 roll off enhancement
• Performance with X7 • Significant increase in performance • High end features for demanding use cases Adaptive TDMA Overview • Before Inroute Groups (IRG) consisted of homogeneous carriers
• In iDX 3.2 IRG can consist of heterogeneous carriers
• Different symbol rates • Different MODCODs • Different SS factors
• Benefits • Enables terminals to achieve their max speed • No need to assume the worst case scenario • Greater dynamic range in network design Adaptive TDMA Higher Control and Efficiency
• Optimize network performance in any condition
• Up to three dynamic “profiles” or compositions • Clear sky • Fade • Heavy fade (a safety net)
• Benefits • Margin is converted to bandwidth efficiency • Availability is maintained via dynamic profiles • Unprecedented control to fulfill SLAs Outbound Enhancement Reduced Roll Off Factor
• New, selectable roll-off factor
• Options include 5%, 10%, 15% and 20% (existing) 5% ROF 20% • Dependent on carrier size 34Msps 30Msps • Example: 36MHz Transponder DVB-S2 DVB-S2 • Increase usable symbol rate by 4Msps Outbound Outbound (full transponder) (full transponder)
• Benefits 36MHz • 10Mbps gains in IP throughput in 36 MHz TXP • Up to 13% gain in outbound throughput for <36 MHz Introducing X7 “The Need for Speed” • Insatiable demand for connectivity • “Enterprises, organizations and consumers are devouring satellite bandwidth as quickly as service provides can deliver it.” -Simon Bull, COMSYS, Sep’12
