Teledyne Q-NET PDQS Redundancy Switch

Description

Paradise pioneered the very first satellite modem redundancy systems in the industry many years ago. Now fully re-engineered for the Teledyne Q-NET satellite network solution, the PDQS 1:N Redundancy Switch protects up to 16 traffic modems that can all be running completely different services (IF, L-band, different terrestrial interfaces, different waveforms, etc.). The Teledyne Q-NET PDQS Redundancy Switch keeps the backup modem separate from the redundancy switch, allowing hot-swapping in the event of either a redundancy switch or backup modem failure.

The Teledyne Q-NET PDQS Redundancy Switch can be used to protect both point-to-point and point-to-multipoint services. In the case of the QMultiFlex400, it can protect up to 16 shared outbound services and up to 128 inbound services at the same time, ensuring extremely high system availability for very little extra expenditure.

The Teledyne Q-NET PDQS Redundancy Switch requires a P3717 1:N interface card to be fitted inside the backup modem, plus an umbilical cable that attaches between the modem 1:N card and the redundancy switch for control purposes. When fitted with the 1:N card, any production modem will automatically function not only as a normal traffic modem but also as a controller for the redundancy switch.
