ULC-R Line Card
The universal receive line card, ULC-R, features multi-channel Adaptive TDMA demodulation for inbound traffic with an aggregate
symbol/chip rate of up to 29 Msps/Mcps. In conjunction with a modulator line card (e.g. ULC-T), the ULC-R supports efficient
inbound FEC with 2D 16-State coding, making it ideally suited for voice, video and data applications in enterprise and mobility
networks on both the ST Engineering iDirect Evolution and Velocity platforms. The ULC-R line card can also be configured
alternatively to support a proprietary BPSK spread spectrum waveform to enable low data rate communication in conjunction with
the iDirect portfolio of Fixed/Dynamic IoT Terminals available in either Ku-Band/Ka-Band variants.
