In an era of skyrocketing bandwidth demands, satellite operators and enterprises need networking solutions that are both powerful and flexible. SatHarbor proudly presents the CEL-200 Series | High-Performance VSAT Satellite Router, developed to deliver best-in-class throughput (up to 450 Mbps), multi-mode operation (SCPC, TDM/TDMA, mesh), and advanced IP routing. Compact, energy-efficient, and extremely versatile, the CEL-200 can handle everything from remote site connectivity to large-scale corporate backbones and bandwidth-hungry applications in harsh or hard-to-reach environments.

Key Features & Technical Highlights

1. Up to 450 Mbps Aggregate Throughput

   • The CEL-200’s ultra-fast IP processing—capable of over 190,000 packets per second (PPS)—enables smooth performance for real-time voice, HD video, and data-centric services.
   • Supports high capacity links with DVB-S2/S2X waveforms and ACM for maximum spectral efficiency.

2. Dual DVB Demodulators & Four TDMA Demodulators

   • Integrates two DVB-S2/S2X demodulators for TDM or SCPC inbound, plus four TDMA demodulators for multi-frequency MF-TDMA.
   • Allows simultaneous reception of two carriers at once—ideal for load balancing or multi-beam HTS operations.

3. Flexible Modulator for SCPC & TDMA

   • A universal modulator supports SCPC and TDMA modes, letting you switch from dedicated links to shared networks on the fly.
   • Adaptive Coding & Modulation (ACM) in both forward and return channels reduces bandwidth costs while maintaining robust links.

4. Ultra-Low Latency VSAT System

   • Round-trip delay about 570 ms in TDMA mode, ensuring quick response for VoIP, online collaboration, or critical SCADA operations.
   • Ideal for demanding applications like real-time analytics, emergency communications, and remote data gathering.

5. Advanced IP Routing & QoS

   • Processes up to 190,000 PPS, supports Layer 2 bridging or Layer 3 routing, IPv4/IPv6, multi-VLAN, DSCP, traffic shaping, AES-256 encryption, and more.
   • Offers multi-level QoS and hierarchical traffic management to prioritize real-time or mission-critical data streams.

6. Multi-Topology Operation

   • Operates as a TDM/TDMA Hub, a Hubless Mesh node, an SCPC IP modem, or a remote in a large star network.
   • Each router can store up to 8 configuration profiles, making it easy to swap roles or coverage areas in seconds.

7. Robust & Low Power

   • Consumes under 12W while delivering top-tier performance, offering a viable solution in power-constrained environments.
   • Achieves an MTBF over 200,000 hours, reflecting a rugged, minimal-component design.

Typical Application Scenarios

1. ISPs & Telco Providers

   • Expand broadband coverage via satellite-based backhaul, seamlessly transitioning between shared (TDMA) and dedicated (SCPC) links to optimize OPEX.

2. Government & Defense Networks

   • Low-latency performance, multi-level QoS, and quick config changes suit agencies or military branches requiring secure and reliable comms in variable topologies.

3. Maritime & Offshore Platforms

   • The CEL-200’s small form factor and adaptive bandwidth management enable stable communication even under harsh conditions at sea or in remote drilling sites.

4. Large-Scale Enterprise WANs

   • Interconnect corporate branches and remote offices worldwide with cost-effective TDM/TDMA hubs, minimizing satellite usage while ensuring high throughput and robust failover.

Best Practices & Considerations

• Enable ACM: Exploit Adaptive Coding & Modulation on both forward and return paths to dynamically adjust for weather, interference, and link fluctuations.
• Use QoS & Traffic Shaping: Guarantee top-tier service for VoIP, real-time video, or security data by allocating bandwidth priority and limiting lower-priority tasks.
• Deploy Redundancy: Consider 1:1 or M:N redundancy setups to maintain always-on availability in critical networks or large hubs.
• Leverage Multiple Profiles: Configure different channel modes (TDM/TDMA, SCPC, mesh) and store them in the router’s memory to rapidly adapt to evolving bandwidth needs.
