CEL-100 Series: High-Throughput Broadband Satellite Router

CEL-100 Series: High-Throughput Broadband Satellite Router - SatHarbor

Satellite service providers today must handle increasingly complex and data-intensive applications, from remote site connectivity to national-scale network infrastructures. SatHarbor is proud to present the CEL-100 Series | Broadband Satellite Router, leveraging advanced modulation, dynamic resource allocation, and next-generation IP routing. Engineered with a focus on high throughput, low power consumption, and multi-beam HTS compatibility, CEL-100 enables reliable, cost-effective coverage for everything from enterprise WAN extensions to high-demand media streaming.

Key Features & Technical Highlights

  1. Dual DVB-S2/S2X Demodulators

    • Two independent IF inputs (Rx1 and Rx2) handle symbol rates up to 500 Msps, enabling simultaneous reception of high-capacity carriers—even across multiple satellite beams.
    • Supports advanced constellations (QPSK, 8PSK, 16APSK, 32APSK, 64APSK, 128APSK, 256APSK) and down to 5% roll-off, maximizing transponder use on modern HTS satellites.
  2. MF-TDMA Modulator with Adaptive Coding & Modulation

    • The router’s return channel offers data rates up to 35 Mbps via LDPC-based MF-TDMA.
    • Achieves up to 96% efficiency compared to SCPC when using advanced protocols and minimal overhead, critical for cost savings in star or point-to-point networks.
  3. High Packet Processing & Throughput

    • Handles up to 150,000 IP packets per second, supporting demanding voice, video, and data services.
    • Delivers up to 220 Mbps total throughput, giving operators the capacity to run bandwidth-heavy applications from a single, compact device.
  4. Ultra-Low Latency TDM/TDMA

    • Delivers round-trip delay around 570 ms in TDMA mode—particularly important for interactive applications such as VoIP, video conferencing, and remote SCADA control.
  5. Advanced IP Routing & Security

    • Includes IPv4/IPv6 support, VLAN, DSCP, advanced QoS shaping, AES-256 encryption, and robust IP features like TCP acceleration.
    • Layer 3 routing or Layer 2 bridging modes allow flexible deployment in diverse network architectures.
  6. Designed for HTS & Beam Switching

    • Preloaded coverage maps, OpenAMIP support, and built-in beam switching logic let remote terminals seamlessly roam across multiple satellite footprints, ensuring nonstop connectivity on the move.
  7. Compact Form Factor & Low Power

    • Consumes less than 8W, aiding deployments with limited power budgets while boasting an MTBF exceeding 200,000 hours.
    • Weighs a mere 0.5 kg in its compact chassis, yet handles intense broadband demands in enterprise or government networks.

Typical Application Scenarios

  1. Large-Scale VSAT Networks

    • Thanks to multi-beam HTS support, star or mesh topologies, and high-speed processing, CEL-100 excels in robust broadband services for ISPs, satellite service providers, and massive enterprise rollouts.
  2. Government & Emergency Response

    • Low latency, high throughput, and advanced QoS ensure mission-critical tasks—like video surveillance, border security, or disaster recovery—maintain uninterrupted connectivity.
  3. Offshore & Remote Operations

    • Compact size and minimal power requirements suit maritime vessels, offshore rigs, or remote mining sites where stable broadband is essential but infrastructure is scarce.
  4. Corporate WAN Extensions

    • By blending TDM/TDMA inbound with DVB-S2X outbound, operators can securely expand corporate networks beyond terrestrial limitations with consistent performance and cost efficiency.

Best Practices & Considerations

  • Leverage DVB-S2X Efficiency: Choose advanced modulation (32APSK+ or 5% roll-off) to drastically reduce OPEX by fully utilizing transponder resources.
  • Enable Adaptive Features: Turn on ACM in both forward and return channels for optimized throughput even under fluctuating weather or interference conditions.
  • Explore Beam Switching: For mobility applications or multi-beam HTS satellites, configure coverage maps and OpenAMIP integration to maintain high data rates across coverage footprints.
  • Use QoS & Traffic Shaping: Guarantee real-time traffic (VoIP, video) receives priority, while lower priority tasks use leftover capacity.
