C Ilat Product Brochure Ultra - High - Performance VSATs For Next- Generation Satellites SkyEdge IV Aquarius is an ultra-high-performance family of VSATs designed for operation over next-generation Very High Throughput Satellites (VHTS) and GEO and Non-GEO (NGSO) constellations. The Aquarius Family of VSATs was designed to support flexible satellites servicing multiple fixed and mobility applications such as broadband, 4G and 5G backhauling, commercial maritime and cruise ships, corporate enterprise services and heavy connectivity trunking links. The Aquarius VSAT Family is designed to provide uninterrupted service, supporting next-generation software-defined satellites. SkyEdge IV Aquarius VSATs enable seamless operation, "make before break" NGSO satellites handover, switching between GEO and NGSO or between different GEO satellites. To provide continuity of service for these use cases, SkyEdge IV Aquarius VSATs are equipped with dual transmit/receive interfaces and fast adaptive reconfiguration capabilities on both the forward and return channels supporting satellite on-the-fly changes. The VSATs exhibit ultra-high processing capacity, achieving above 2Gbps aggregated throughput and high packets-per-second processing. Maximum Spectral Efficiency Gilat's innovative transmission technologies deliver exceptional performance and space segment efficiencies with the highest availability. The enhanced performance air interface includes in the forward direction Wideband DVB-S2X carriers up to 500Msps with seamless Adaptive Coding and Modulation (ACM) with very low SNR (VLSNR) ModCods. In the return direction, Gilat's Elastix- SCPC (eSCPC) and TDMA access incorporate Gilat's unique advanced FEC coding XDC , delivering the industry's highest spectral efficiency, widest dynamic range and highest granularity. SkyEdge IV Aquarius Pro also offers an SCPC mode. Metro Ethernet Forum (Mef)Based Layer-2 Services The SkyEdge IV Aquarius VSAT Family delivers Layer-2 based services utilizing MEF-based standards to enable extended standard terrestrial Layer-2 connectivity over satellite. Rich Layer-2 connectivity options include advanced Layer-2 QoS traffic prioritization enabling the support of multiple applications behind the VSAT.
