A.2 FEC (Forward Error Correction) Options
The method of FEC used among Comtech EF Data’s Advanced VSAT series of products differs
according to Advanced VSAT Series product. This includes VersaFEC®, a family of short‐block
Low Density Parity Check (LDPC) codes with very low latency. VersaFEC® is a patent pending
technology wholly owned and developed by Comtech EF Data and Comtech AHA Enterprise
Products Group (the VersaFEC name is a trademark registered to Comtech AHA).

or the CDM-840 and ODM-840 Remote Routers: The FEC method used by the remote site
CDM

40 and ODM‐840 Remote Routers depends on the direction of signal processing in use:
• T
he Rx (receive) side of the 840 operates with error correction based upon the DVB‐S2
standard for QPSK, 8‐PSK, 16‐APSK and 32‐APSK with concatenated LDPC and
Bose‐Chaudhuri‐Hocquenghem (BCH).
• T
he Tx (transmit) side of the 840 uses the VersaFEC® family of short‐block LDPC codes.
