Page 25: Introduction
The MDM6000 Satellite Modem is the versatile next generation modem optimized for medium to high speed IP applications over satellite. The MDM6000 modem is typically installed at both ends of a point-to-point satellite link or at the remote sites of a star network. The unit can act as a modulator, demodulator or modem depending on the network configuration and integrates seamlessly with terrestrial IP networks and equipment.
Page 26: Flexibility And Scalability Matching Market Business Models
At the output of the MDM6000 Modem, the signal is available in IF or extended L-band (950 MHz-2150 MHz). A switchable 10 MHz reference signal for an outdoor BUC is multiplexed on the L-band interface with optional switchable 24/48V DC BUC power supply.

MDM6000 Satellite Modem Feature Descriptions 14.7 FlexACM In a satellite link operated with FlexACM, the modulator and demodulator parts must exchange signaling information with each other in order to control dynamically the modulation parameters in function of the instantaneous receive conditions in the demodulator. This signaling consists of short messages in IP format.
Page 207: Modcods In Satellite Communication
MDM6000 Satellite Modem Feature Descriptions 14.7.1 ModCods in Satellite Communication Data transferred via a satellite is modulated and coded at the sending side and demodulated and decoded at the receiving end. The used modulation and coding (FEC) is called the ModCod. Each combination of a specific modulation and coding has a certain spectral efficiency determining the data throughput.
Page 208 MDM6000 Satellite Modem Feature Descriptions Imagine we have an optimal satellite connection between two sites in clear weather. At this moment the satellite link has the following settings: • High ModCod; • High throughput; • Good signal quality. In these ideal circumstances and without fade, a high ModCod can be used, and the throughput over the satellite link is high.
Page 209 MDM6000 Satellite Modem Feature Descriptions To prevent this, the satellite link can be configured in a lower ModCod , resulting in a link working for example 99,5% of the time. On the other hand, in good weather conditions, this ModCod will not be optimal, thus costing money because of the not used bandwidth.
Page 210 MDM6000 Satellite Modem Feature Descriptions What we need is a ModCod delivering the highest throughput at all time. A FlexACM® equipped satellite network delivers a very stable link with a variable bit rate, depending on the conditions. The following figure shows the way FlexACM works.
Page 211: Flexacm In A Point To Point Setup
14.7.3 FlexACM in a Point to Point Setup The following figure shows the point-to-point configuration. Please refer to the Configuration Guidelines for FlexACM between two MDM6000 devices. This document can be found on the CD-ROM that is delivered together with the device.
Page 212: Automatic Uplink Power Control
MDM6000 Satellite Modem Feature Descriptions 14.8 Automatic Uplink Power Control Automated uplink power control (AUPC) allows to regulate the power level in a point to point link. The goal is to compensate for uplink fading events and keep a constant power level at the same satellite input.
Page 213: Back Ground Information
ALC operation is typically found in single carrier per transponder operation such as uplink for DTH systems. The AUPC mechanism used in the MDM6000 Satellite Modem is incompatible with transponders set to ALC mode.
Page 214: Aupc Approaches
MDM6000 Satellite Modem Feature Descriptions 14.8.3 AUPC Approaches 14.8.3.1 Beacon Based For non ALC transponders, a possible implementation of AUPC is to use a dedicated beacon receiver that measures the level of a beacon signal on the transponder. Variations in the beacon level can only be created by fading that is present between the satellite and the uplink station where the beacon receiver is located.
Page 215: Improved Aupc Mechanism (Implemented In The Mdm6000 And Mcd6000)
14.8.4 AUPC Newtec's AUPC mechanism provides an improved algorithm in the sense that it not only looks at the Es/No but also at signal power and at the real link margin. Based on that, the modem can determine whether or not fading is caused by uplink or downlink fading, as long as the link is setup in a correct manner and that it is uplink limited in the link budget.

The following figure shows the required The following figure shows the scenario that is nominal power. Note that a configured margin not allowed in any case! is needed to respect the PEB at all time.

Page 234 The MDM6000 supports two forwarding modes: 1. Layer 2 Forwarding Mode: As Layer 2 Ethernet bridge, the MDM6000 transparently forwards any Layer 3 protocol, MPLS or VLAN tagged traffic. Consequently it can be considered to act as an Ethernet cable over satellite.
Page 235 Feature Descriptions 2. Layer 3 Forwarding Mode As Layer 3 IP router, the MDM6000 can transport IPv4 packets based on static routing.In this mode, there is less overhead (compared with L2 Ethernet bridging). However because of the static routing, it is required to have a good IP plan made upfront (i.e. a change of IP plan implies reconfiguring the static routes on the involved MDM6000).

Page 306 MDM6000 Satellite Modem Appendix - Technical Specifications The Baseband frame header decoder will not work reliably below -2.0dB Es/No. When operating a link below -2dB Es/No, occasional unlock events are expected due to BBheader decoder failures. Although few modcods have lower threshold, ACM operation below -2dB is not recommended.
