The Comtech SLM-5650B Satellite Modem leverages the heritage and feature set of our very successful SLM-5650A modem. The SLM-5650B supports backwards compatibility / inter-operability for existing Comtech SLM-5650A networks while providing enhanced performance and new features.

The SLM-5650B is compliant with the strict requirements defined in MIL-STD-188-165A, modem types I, II, IV, V and VI for applications on DSCS, WGS and commercial satellites. Data rates from 8 kbps to 155 Mbps and symbol rates from 32 ksps to 64 Msps are supported. The modem provides standard MIL-STD-188-114 (EIA-530 / RS-422), and EIA-613 (HSSI) serial interfaces, and can be optionally configured to support G.703 and Low Voltage Differential Signaling (LVDS) serial interfaces. It can also optionally be equipped with a 4-port 10/100 /1000Base-T Ethernet Network Processor module that supports switching, routing and advanced Quality of Service protocols.

The SLM-5650B can be integrated with the Vipersat Management System (VMS) to provide fully automated network and capacity management (future software upgrade). An AES-256 TRANSEC module, compliant with the FIPS 140-2 standard, is also available as an option. All traffic (including overhead and all VMS control traffic) is encrypted when using the TRANSEC module.
