Adaptive Coding and Modulation, using BPSK, QPSK, 8-QAM , 16-QAM and
VersaFEC short-block LDPC coding – total of 12 ModCods
37-3000 ksps
10/100 Base T Ethernet, with auto-negotiated Congestion Control
Automatically reported from remote modem – built in function at the physical
layer – requires no additional overhead
7:1 over range of adaptation
Corresponds to SNR (Eb/No) that gives BER = 5 x 10
0.3 dB
Approximately 1 dB/second (higher if Target Eb/No margin >1 dB)
One update every two seconds (no restriction on distance between ModCods)
