The latest generation high performance L-Band Satellite Modem, the
PSM-500L, is the industry’s most reliable & sophisticated modem
in its class. The PSM-500L is unmatched by any other modem for its
BER performance, fast acquisition, low latency and total
power/bandwidth optimization.
PSM-500L Highlights

• Built-in 1:1 Redundancy
FEC Options
FEC types include Viterbi, Trellis, Reed Solomon, Turbo Product
Codes (both 4K & 16K block sizes) and the most Flexible LDPC on
the market today. In addition, the PSM-500L has the largest
selection of code rates and block sizes. Available LDPC block sizes
include 256, 512, 1k, 2k, 4k, 8k & 16k.
Performance
Sophisticated digital signal processing eliminates all on board
physical adjustments and provides performance within 0.3 dB of
theoretical. Datum’s unique DSP design also delivers the world’s
fastest SCPC carrier acquisition.
BUC/LNB Power & Reference
The PSM-500L is capable of providing a high stability 10 MHz
reference, BUC and LNB power through the modem Transmit (N-Type)
and Receive (F-Type) connections at the rear. Reference, BUC and
LNB power can be disabled via the front panel. Front panel voltage
and current measurements are available for BUC and LNB monitoring.
Key Enabled Upgrades
The PSM-500L can be upgraded via front panel key codes. Upgrades
are simple to implement and are available in preconfigured software
versions, which offer a variety of options for modulation, FEC and
data rates up to 29.5Mbps.
Redundancy
M500 series modems come with a built-in 1:1 redundancy feature that
can be enabled through the front panel and requires only a few
external cables and power splitters.
Front Panel & Diagnostics
The modem front panel provides a backlit LCD display, full keypad
and LED indicators for monitor and control of all modem parameters.
The PSM-500L also has advanced monitor and BERT functions available
to the user for quick field diagnostics.
PSM-500L Value Configurations:
• M505 - BPSK/QPSK/OQPSK up to 5 Mbps (PSM-4900 Compatible)
• M511 - Adds 8PSK/8QAM to M505 Series & Data Rates up to 10
Mbps
• M523 - Adds 16QAM to M511 Series & Data Rates up to 29.52
Mbps
