Digitized signal processing
- Full-software implementation of RF signal processing, no more custom-made rigid and expensive hardware
- Coupled with software front-end CCSDS and DVB-S2/S2X processing
COTS platform
- Runs on commercial COTS GPU-enabled servers
- Supports both bare-metal and virtual environments
- Makes high-data-rate virtual ground stations in the cloud a reality
- Visit Blink AMI listing available at the AWS Marketplace for more information about the Blink cloud distribution
Ultra-fast
- Up to 10 Gbps on a COTS server
- Any amount of data with low latency
- Supports an arbitrary number of parallel channels
- No hard limits on the number of parallel input streams or data stream length
Scalable solution
- Different product packages based on the performances and downlink capacity
- From a few Mbps up to 10 Gbps and more with Blink MINI, MIDI and ULTRA product packages
Rich reporting
- Rich, precise reports with verbose processing metadata, overall statistics and graphical overview
- Live progress report included (updated at a configurable frequency)
Automation and integration
- Available with Monica M&C system, prepared for integration with other M&C systems
- Modules can be integrated with any standards-compliant COTS RF digitizer, SDR device, demodulator
- Includes a multi-purpose command-line utility to work with mission data
Easy maintenance
- Easy to install, upgrade, fix and operate
- Maximum utilization of COTS equipment which can be used for other applications while Blink is idle
- Affordable replacement hardware, nearly no custom component to fail
New levels of flexibility
- Easily configurable for multi-mission scenarios
- Fast upgrades with new functionalities and options support rapid, no-hassle, cost-effective evolution of the ground system
Practical licensing
- You can choose between standard license and pay-per-use
- Pay-per-use (or pay-as-you-grow) is specifically tailored for new operators and service providers that are in the process of building their business
- Visit Blink AMI listing available at the AWS Marketplace for more information about the Pay-per-use offer
