Digital Intermediate Frequency (IF) technology was developed to overcome the limitations of analog systems. But until recently, vendor lock-in severely limited its adoption and has delayed by years the digital transformation of satellite communications.
Now, truly interoperable digital IF is pointing the way to virtualized ground segment that can seamlessly adapt to changing space-layer payloads, orbits and regulations. The impact will be huge: elevating the resilience, performance, scalability and flexibility of satellite networks while reducing total cost of ownership.
These brief use cases offer real-world examples of the gains available today and even greater impacts in the years ahead. Click on the pages below to open a PDF copy.
