Frequently asked questions
Which band version do I need?
Choose the version that covers your satellite's uplink frequencies: W: 5.850–6.725 GHz, S: 5.850–6.425 GHz, E: 6.425–7.025 GHz, P: 6.425–6.725 GHz, and I: 6.725–7.025 GHz. Not sure? Send us your satellite and transponder details and we'll confirm.
Can my modem power this BUC?
Versions powered via the IFL take DC up the IF cable. At 80W max and 100W max, check that your modem or BUC power supply can deliver that much. Otherwise choose a version with a separate MS-connector or AC supply. We're happy to check your setup.
Need help sizing or integrating a transmit chain?
Digisat engineers run link budgets, select the right BUC or SSPA, and install and commission complete transmit chains for government, teleport and broadcast customers worldwide. Talk to an engineer.
