The RLS-2100 from Square Peg Communications is a comprehensive satellite channel simulator with unparalleled impairment simulation, real-time multi-satellite orbit calculation, full-motion support and integrated GPS simulators. It can provide end-to-end or single link simulation of wideband terrestrial and satellite networks, satellite selection via open standard interfaces, and facilities to enable seamless integration into more complex test beds if required. It supports the highest bandwidth and has an intuitive, user-friendly interface.
The RLS-2100 has been designed from the ground up to simulate the growing complexity of satellite-based networks. It allows satellite network operators to realistically model networks and to complete rigorous testing of high-bandwidth LEO/MEO applications with full mobility. It allows satellite modem or terminal manufacturers to test complex and dynamic scenarios and ensure compliance under a variety of channel conditions, without additional external devices. And with its native support for ARINC 429 and OpenAMIP, it allows in-flight connectivity providers to ensure gate-to-gate reliability with seamless handovers by recreating complex on-air scenarios before flying.
The RLS-2100 simulator can be controlled using a touch-screen or keyboard/mouse via Ethernet (10/100/1000 Base T), serial (RS-232/422/485) and USB (2.0, 3.0) interfaces. It is available in a 19”/2.5U rack-mount enclosure that measures 51 x 51.75 x 12.07 cm. This simulator is ideal for hardware-in-the-loop physical layer testing and end-to-end network performance testing applications of wideband satellite and terrestrial radio communications systems.
