CDM-570A/570AL Satellite Modem with Optional Packet Processor
Revision 5
DoubleTalk Carrier-in-Carrier Option G–16 MN-CDM570A
To continue, consider this example:
Satellite & Transponder
IS-901 @ 342º W, 22/22 (EH/EH)
Earth Station 1 Africa – 9.2 m
Earth Station 2 Africa – 4.5 m
Data Rate 2.048 Mbps / 2.048 Mbps
Whereas the original link used 8-PSK TPC 3/4, the Carrier-in-Carrier link used QPSK VersaFEC
0.803.
The savings summary is as follows:

Using Carrier-in-Carrier and VersaFEC reduced the leased bandwidth by almost 44% and the
BUC size by 60% at the Hub and 75% at the Remote.
