Satellite Data Reception in the Blink of an Eye

Blink is a real-time, high data rate, pure software modem specifically designed to run on commercial off-the-shelf servers, without custom hardware. With Blink, the ground segment becomes more affordable, reusable and flexible.

Blink moves digital signal processing (DSP) from high-maintenance hardware to software and can run on bare-metal or virtual environments (local and cloud).

It can bring previously impossible missions to life and make other missions easier to manage, more productive and significantly more cost-effective to set up and evolve.

Blink is a DVB-S2/S2X- and CCSDS-compatible, pure software wideband satellite modem.

Its modular architecture supports a variety of delivery options for a range of different environments and requirements. It provides three main packages.

Blink Modem

Multi-mission software package for wideband RF signal and CCSDS and DVB-S2/S2X front-end processing and analysis that includes:

  • a wide variety of modulation and coding schemes, with support for variable and adaptive coding and modulation
  • state-of-the-art processing reports with 50+ types of supported events, an interactive timeline and many other features
  • advanced monitor & control capabilities based on our Monica M&C solution, providing access control, alarming, automation, a web UI and a REST SPI, among other features

Blink Modem can be integrated with COTS RF digitizers or SDRs to provide a modern, flexible and cost-effective modem and front-end processor.

    Blink Station

    Blink Station extends Blink Modem monitor and control to include concepts like a satellite pass, mission-aware scheduling, testing capabilities and allows control of additional equipment beyond the software modem, like switches, up/downconverters, antennas etc. and is just as capable in operations as it is is assembly, integration, verification and testing.
