DIGITAL 1000 - ODU

Ruggedised, compact form factor

ETL’s rack-mount GENUS DIGITAL 5000 unit demonstrated the performance potential of RF-over-IP over 100 GbE. However, the required infrastructure is rarely available in tactical or mobile applications. DIGITAL 1000 takes this cutting-edge capability and repackages it into a ruggedised, modular form factor. The unit is optimised for field deployment and can operate across a variety of COTS compute platforms.

Specifying an Edge Digitiser

Specifying an edge unit comes with challenges. For example, a digitiser supporting a cellular backhaul will require significantly more bandwidth (both in terms of RF bandwidth and terrestrial network bandwidth) than one supporting just a single user. Get in touch with our team to discuss your requirements and get tailored advice on the best solution.

The Benefits of Edge Digitisation

DIGITAL IF

DIGITAL 1000

DIGITAL 1000 bridges the gap between traditional RF and the near-future virtualised ground segment, even at the network edge. By digitising RF into IP streams, operators unlock:

• Elastic scaling – Modem instances can be spun up or down based on traffic demand, mission profile, or service-level requirements.
• Rapid waveform updates – New features, standards, or optimisations can be deployed through software updates rather than hardware refresh cycles.
• Resource pooling – Compute resources can be shared across multiple missions or customers, improving utilisation and reducing cost.
• Geographical flexibility – Processing can be moved closer to the user, closer to the gateway, or centralised for efficiency, depending on operational needs.
