Mfr Viasat/Model Link WayS2 (See Line Item 001 Extended Description Cont), 9, EA; LI 002, Server: Network Control and Management Server (NCC Server):The terminals are controlled by a full-featured Network Control Center (NCC) workstation that manages TDMA network timing, synchronization, terminal acquisition, network configuration, and bandwidth management. The NCC also acts as the NMS server. The NMS is a client-server system with an easy-to-use Web-based graphical interface. With this approach, a PC-based remote NMS client can securely access the NCC server from anywhere in the world. The NMS user windows make it simple to access key information. Network status, network station maps, system configuration, alarm status, circuit set-up, accounting, link performance, and diagnostic commands are available with the click of a mouse. The NCC database files can be shared with other operational tools such as billing systems, and the network may also be monitored via SNMP. Multiple levels of access control ensure that security is maintained. 12 month warranty, onsite orientation and support.

With efficient TDMA operation at lower symbol rates, this terminal provides an excellent solution for low-throughput applications, such as voice. With carrier rates up to 5Msps, the system shall also handles high-throughput applications, such as video or large media file transfers shall provide a mesh MF-TDMA modem with completely independent fast-hopping transmit and receive sections. The transmit modulator and receive demodulator shall be able to tune on a burst-to-burst basis, independently and automatically, to any of 64 carriers across an 800 MHz frequency range spanning multiple transponders, multiple carrier rates, multiple carrier coding rates, and multiple carrier modulations. Additional items: 12 month warranty, onsite orientation and support. Mfr: Viasat/Model Link WayS2
