The industry’s fastest front-end processor. Process, distribute and archive satellite-downlinked CCSDS/TDM frame data at up to 1.2 Gbps.

PTP-EX HIGH-RATE FRONT-END PROCESSOR OVERVIEW: The PTP-EX is a high-rate satellite data processing and simulation system that supports both CCSDS (for Conventional and Advanced Orbiting Systems) and Time-Division Multiplexed (TDM) formats, performing data ingest, processing, distribution and archiving functions at rates up to 1.2 Gbps. It is most commonly deployed within a satellite ground station, but is also ideal for satellite integration and test applications.

HIGH-RATE INGEST, PROCESSING, FORWARDING & ARCHIVING: The PTP-EX accepts single or dual downlink data streams, performing frame synchronization, derandomization, Reed-Solomon error correction, CRC decoding, time tagging and logging at rates up to 1.2 Gbps. It also integrates real-time CCSDS packet processing and logging capabilities at data rates beyond 400 Mbps. The system performs CCSDS packet processing, using Virtual Channel Identifier or Application Process Identifier to route data to networked processing centers and concurrently log to disk. Data files can be stored locally, or forwarded to processing centers post-pass.
