Terrasat Communications, Inc. a premier provider of Block
Upconverters, which are in operation worldwide, has introduced the
Intelligent Block Upconverter
(IBUC) for the satellite communications
industry. As the satellite communications industry is experiencing a
transition from 70 MHz Transceivers to L-band Block Upconverters, compared
to the 70 MHz Transceiver, Terrasat’s IBUC
products provide superior performance, simplified terminal design, higher
reliability and a reduction in satellite terminal investment. |

Terrasat provides a complete line of full featured, high performance C &
Ku-band IBUCs
at very competitive prices. The Block Upconverter and SSPA are
combined into a single compact outdoor enclosure for a simpler, more
reliable installation. RF output powers of up to 80W for C-Band and 40W for
Ku-Band are available.
The
IBUC RF output powers of up
to 10W C-Band and 8W Ku-Band require no
fan.
The 8W Ku-Band IBUC weighs only 12 lbs!
All
Terrasat IBUCs are
designed to be remotely monitored and controlled worldwide. The intelligent
IBUC
communicates via FSK to compatible modems and provides IP, RS232, and
RS485 interfaces. The IBUC
provides a sophisticated, yet user-friendly, M&C capability in stand alone
systems. The IBUC also
easily integrates with Network Management Systems (NMS) so a complete view
of all elements of the remote satellite terminals is available. The
IBUC provides features such as:
-
TCP/IP interface with embedded web pages for remote management and
control, which means the IBUC
can be a fully networked device in a communications network.
-
Selectable AGC, ALC or Manual Gain Control for improved space segment
management and compliance with the satellite operator’s technical
requirements.
-
Built-in diagnostics for simplified installation, monitoring, and
troubleshooting.
- 1+1
redundancy. No external protection switch control unit required. The logic
and drivers are built into each IBUC.
-
Alarm history.
-
Built in Receive Reject Filter.
-
Calibrated IF L-Band input and TX RF output power level detectors.
- 10
MHz input detector.
-
Input voltage and current monitoring.
-
Multi-function LED on the unit to provide a quick visual indication of the
operating statue.
-
Completely weatherproof.
- Rack
Mounted Interface Unit that combines multiple modems into a common IBUC
and LNB.
-
