Overview

Advantech Satellite Networks Series 5000 terminals are full-featured DVB-RCS compliant terminals. These rack-mountable units have a slim 1U form factor.

The Series 5000 offers Star or Mesh connectivity to your corporate LAN and is one of the fastest and most full featured satellite interactive terminals available today. A truly corporate solution, the Series 5000 is designed to provide enterprise-level quality of service demanded of today’s connected world at return link rates up to 6 Mbps. As a replacement to your existing T1 or E1 line or as a backup, the Series 5000 always-on performance achieves optimal bandwidth efciency thanks to DVB-S2 support and VCM/ACM capability. And thanks to its high power internal supply, the Series 5000 will provide inline power to BUCs up to 4W without any add-on equipment.
