iDirect iQ 800 Aero Modem Board

The iQ 800 Aero Modem Board is architected specifically for integration into commercial airborne enclosures. It provides performance, efficiency and security for reliable IP-based satellite communications on iDirect’s DVB-S2/S2X modem series with Adaptive TDMA returns.

Today the iQ 800 is being integrated rapidly to meet future aero requirements. The iQ 800 modem board offers full feature parity with its predecessor, the CX780, as well as immediate benefits and long-term features. The iQ 800 supports up to three times the performance and up to 50% shorter beam switch times immediately.

The iQ 800 will support the DVB-S2X forward channel to again improve performance and generate up to 25-50% increase in efficiency and support a 15Msps ATDMA return on a future Velocity release. iQ 800 integrations will convey these continual enhancements to their own customers through proactive testing and certification now.

Ultimately, the iQ 800 becomes a multi-personality aero modem with continuous support on Velocity and new support for the iDirect next-generation VSAT platform. The result is long-term options for network operators and service providers navigating the future needs of their customers. On our next-gen platform, the iQ 800 will offer a 475Msps DVB-S2X forward and iDirect’s award-winning Mx-DMA MRC return to the aero market.
