Designed initially for delivering IP Services over Serial Satellite Links, the LV2000 came about because most satellite networks and satellite users already have serial satellite modems within their infrastructure. Rather than investing in IP Enabled Modems, the LV2000 allows you to re-use existing LVDS Satellite Modems such as the Comtech EFDATA CDM600 or the Radyne DMD20.
A key feature to the LV2000 is that it has a bit-switch selectable Automatic Crypto Re-sync option, allowing much faster re-sync capability. This Auto Re-sync overcomes the need for re-keying or powering down of Crypto Equipment, which means you can maintain a more efficient secure communications link.
With a maximum speed of 51.84Mbps the LV2000 easily supports the 20Mbps max rate of most satellite modems, and for interfacing to LVDS Crypto Equipment supports 52Mbps as a maximum date rate.
The LV2000 is truly a "plug and play" device requiring no configuration in most cases.
By utilizing Metrodata's Ethernet-to-Serial interface converters users can connect their Fast Ethernet equipment directly into a satellite network without requiring a separate router. This reduces the cost and complexity of the network whilst ensuring that performance and efficiency of the network is as high as possible.
