Introduction
MDM6000 Satellite Modem
7 Introduction
The MDM6000 Satellite Modem is the versatile next generation modem optimized for medium to
high speed IP applications over satellite. The MDM6000 modem is typically installed at both ends of
a point-to-point satellite link or at the remote sites of a star network. The unit can act as a modulator,
demodulator or modem depending on the network configuration and integrates seamlessly with
terrestrial IP networks and equipment. The modem is in full compliance with the updated DVB-S2
and DVB-S2X standards and still supports the Newtec S2 Extensions, all in order to achieve
barrier-breaking efficiency at maximum service availability.

7.1 Efficiency at the Core
The Newtec MDM6000 Satellite Modem combines a number of innovative elements to improve
current market available efficiencies, thereby lowering the overall Total Cost of Ownership.
New modulation and Forward Error Correction (FEC) codes up to 256APSK 3/4 in the DVB-S2X
standard in combination with innovative technologies such as 72 Mbaud, Clean Channel
Technology™, Automatic Uplink Power Control (AUPC), FlexACM®, QoS, and Automated
Equalink® 2.0 are embedded in the modem and bring the satellite link to full efficiency. By
increasing the amount of data that can be transferred per transponder the MDM6000 modem
effectively increases business opportunities for Service Providers.
Depending on the application, the Newtec MDM6000 modem can be used in conjunction with the
Newtec HUB6000 Satellite Hub. In all cases end-to-end efficiency over satellite can be achieved.
The performance can be increased even more by adding Newtec’s bandwidth cancellation and/or
network optimization technologies such as acceleration, compression, shaping and bandwidth
management.
7.2 Optimal Availability
Newtec's auto-adaptive technology FlexACM® is incorporated in the MDM6000 modem and deals
with fading conditions (rain, dust, interference) and inclined orbit satellites with varying throughput
patterns.Thanks to FlexACM® these fading conditions will no longer interrupt the transmission
between the hub and remote sites nor result in loss of data. The maximum possible throughput can
be achieved at all times. Additionally the Automatic Uplink Power Control mechanism
can ensure maximum use of the linkbudget at all times.
