C Ilat Product Brochure Ultra - High - Performance Modem for Next- Generation Satellites The SkyEdge IV Aquarius Pro with SCPC capabilities offers ultra-high performance over next-generation VHTS GEO and NGSO constellations. It is the ideal solution for ultra-high throughput trunks up to 750Mbps per direction for a wide range of fixed and mobility applications including broadband, 4G and 5G backhauling, commercial maritime and cruise ships, and corporate enterprise services. The SkyEdge IV Aquarius Pro with SCPC capabilities offers the flexibility to operate in either Star or Point-to-Point topologies. In Star topology, as part of a SkyEdge IV network, it supports efficient central hub communication with multiple remote sites, while in Point-to-Point topology, it ensures dedicated, high-capacity links between specific locations. This dual capability maximizes network flexibility and scalability, providing a versatile solution for diverse deployment scenarios. The SkyEdge IV Aquarius Pro is designed to provide uninterrupted service, supporting next-generation software-defined satellites. It enables 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 Pro is equipped with dual transmit/receive interfaces and fast adaptive reconfiguration capabilities on both the forward and return channels supporting satellite on-the-fly changes. When operating in Star topology, the SkyEdge IV Aquarius Pro exhibits ultra-high processing capacity, achieving above 2Gbps aggregated throughput and ultra-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 and availability.
