FEC (FORWARD ERROR CORRECTION) OPTIONS
The method of FEC used among Comtech EF Data’s Advanced VSAT series of products differs
according to Advanced VSAT Series product.
For the CDM-840 and ODM/R-840 Remote Routers: The FEC method used by the remote site
CDM-840, ODM-840, and ODMR-840 Remote Routers depends on the direction of signal
processing in use:
• The receive (Rx) side of the 840 operates with error correction based upon the DVB-S2
standard for QPSK, 8PSK, 16APSK and 32APSK with concatenated Low Density Parity
Code (LDPC) and Bose-Chaudhuri-Hocquenghem (BCH).
• The transmit (Tx) side of the 840 uses the VersaFEC® family of short-block LDPC codes.

For the CDM-800 Gateway Router via the CTOG-250 Comtech Traffic Optimization Gateway:
The FEC method used by the hub site CDM-800 is based upon the DVB-S2 standard for QPSK,
8PSK, 16APSK and 32APSK with concatenated Low Density Parity Code (LDPC) and Bose-
Chaudhuri-Hocquenghem (BCH).

For the CDD-880 Multi Receiver Router: The FEC method used by the hub site CDD-880 Multi
Receiver Router is a family of short-block Low Density Parity Check (LDPC) codes with very low
latency called VersaFEC®. It is a patent pending technology wholly owned and developed by
Comtech EF Data and CEFD sister division Comtech AHA Corp. (the VersaFEC name is a
trademark registered to Comtech AHA).
