Innovative IP modem providing a flexible enterprise infrastructure with integrated IP QoS
INNOVATIVE AND FLEXIBLE
ViaSat continues to offer the most innovative satellite networking products with its LinkWayS2 system, the most advanced full mesh hubless multi-frequency time-division multiple access (MF-TDMA) system. Delivering true network connectivity, the LinkWayS2 system seamlessly integrates with your Internet Protocol (IP) based applications, automatically routing your mission critical data via a single satellite hop network using any network topology — mesh, star or hybrid. Unique in the industry, the full-mesh LinkWayS2 MF-TDMA modem has independent fast-hopping transmit and receive paths. The transmit modulator and receive demodulator can each tune on a burst-to-burst basis, independently and automatically, across a 800 MHz frequency range spanning multiple transponders, carrier rates, carrier coding rates, and carrier modulations. This capability allows the most efficient allocation of bandwidth on the network carriers, on any
available timeslot on any available carrier frequency, for the most flexible and frequency-agile system available. LinkWayS2 modems can be used over any commercial satellite on C, X, Ku, or Ka band using loop-back, split-beam or cross-strapped transponders.

Applications
EFFICIENCY
Expanding on the capabilities of the successful LINKWAY? 2100 modem, LinkWayS2 modems are more efficient than
ever before. The DVB-RCS turbo coding and short preambles provide quasi-error free communications with minimal carrier power requirements and maximum efficiency. The newly added 8PSK modulation feature provides dramatically improved spectral efficiency, while the inclusion of BPSK
modulation offers support for ultra-small, sub 1-meter antennas for fixed, at-the-halt or on-the-move communications.
LinkWayS2 modems offer a unique extended carrier rate range from 312.5 ksps up to an industry-leading 10 Msps. This broad rate range enables system operators to select the optimal carrier rate for their particular network traffic profile allowing greater flexibility for both high-throughput applications, such as streaming video or large media file transfers, as well as low-latency applications, such as voice and video teleconference.
? Enterprise Connectivity Enable IP voice, video, or data applications across the enterprise, providing integration of terrestrial and satellite networks and platforms.
? Cellular Backhaul Quickly deploy new cell sites to enable connectivity in even the most remote areas of the world.
? Emergency Response Networks Connect and help move logistical, rescue and first responder resources in emergencies and disaster areas.? Air Traffic Control Rely on full-mesh
communications for voice, radar and messaging traffic between ATC sites.
? Maritime Networks Cruise ships, ferries, icebreakers, resource mapping ships, naval vessels.
? Homeland Security Networks Transmit data live into border control and checkpoint data systems with transportable terminals.
BACKWARDS COMPATIBILITY
Through a software configuration, a LINKWAY? 2100
compatible operational mode can be enabled, providing full interoperability with fielded LINKWAY 2100 series networks. Changing configuration from the legacy operational LINKWAY 2100 mode to the more efficient LinkWayS2 mode requires only an over-the-air software download to remote modems and can be done from a centrally managed location.

INTEGRATED DVB-S2 RECEIVER/DECODER
A DVB-S2 Integrated Receiver/Decoder (IRD) with EN 302 307 compliant coding, provides bandwidth-efficient broadband download capability simultaneous with MF-TDMA operation. Higher throughputs at lower Eb/ No enable broadband connections into reduced size terminals. Additionally LinkWayS2 modems can utilize this capability with any standard EN 302 307 DVB-S2 modulator and IP encapsulator.

NETWORK MANAGEMENT
LinkWayS2 based terminals are controlled by a full-featured Network Control Center (NCC) management station. The 1 rack-unit NCC server connects to any standard LinkWayS2 modem and manages TDMA network timing, synchronization, terminal acquisition, network configuration, and bandwidth management. The NCC also acts as the Network Management System (NMS) server, a client-server system with a https-based graphical interface. With this approach, a PC-based remote NMS client can securely access the NCC server from anywhere in the world (with appropriate
security restrictions). NMS user windows provide network status, network station maps, system configuration, alarm status, connection set-up, accounting, link performance, and diagnostic commands. Local and geographic redundancy ensures reliable network operation and provides automatic network recovery.
