Modems
CDM-570/L & CDM-570/L-IP
Satellite Modems
Overview
The CDM-570 and the CDM-570L are Comtech EF Data’s entry-level satellite modems that provide industry
leading performance and flexibility in a 1 RU package at a very competitive price. Designed to address the
market for low-cost terminals, the modems are available with 70/140 MHz or L-Band IF and EIA-530/-422,
V.35, EIA-232 and G.703 data interfaces. An optional Internet Protocol (IP) Module with 10/100Base-T
Ethernet port is available for IP-centric applications.

Turbo Product Coding
The optional Turbo Product Codec delivers significant performance improvement when compared to Viterbi
with concatenated Reed-Solomon. It offers increased coding gain, lower decoding delay, and significant
bandwidth savings compared to traditional FEC.
EDMAC & AUPC Operation
The CDM-570/L-IP has the ability to monitor and control the distant end of a point-to-point satellite link using EDMAC or EDMAC2. User
data is framed and bits are added to pass control, status, and AUPC information. This is transparent to the user.
Management
The modems support SNMP, web-based and command line interfaces for management. The modems can also be configured and
monitored from the front panel, or through the remote M&C port (for non-IP mode of operation). Ten complete RF configurations may be
stored in the modem. An event log stores alarm and status information in non-volatile RAM, while the link statistics log stores link
performance (Eb/No and AUPC performance) for monitoring and reporting purposes.
