- Data bridge module with broadband IP modem offering always-on connectivity for file transfer, telephone, two way talk-back and video-over-IP option;
- Video exciter module, an MPEG-2 DVB-S standard 4:2:0/4:2:2 encoder/modulator/upconverter;
- Satfinder module with integral GPS receiver, compass, and satellite position calculation software;
- RF power amplifier units in C, Ku or DBS band from 5 watts solid-state to 400W power.
