1.1.3.3 Direct Broadcast Satellite
As implemented in the SDM-9000, Direct Broadcast Satellite (DBS) mode supports data
rates up to 44.736 Mbit/s using a single FEC channel. Single channel implementation
differs significantly from the International Telecommunications Satellite Organisation
(INTELSAT) specifications (for carriers greater than 10 Mbit/s) for communicating the
data across three channels.
