Kratos OpenSpace quantumRadio – Virtualized Software Modem for Narrowband Missions

OpenSpace® quantumRadio is an individual virtualized modem that provides RF signal processing for TT&C and narrowband payload missions. The software modem offers lower operating costs, increased scalability and dynamic capabilities beyond traditional hardware.

• Offers configuration on the fly to support multiple satellites and payloads
• Scales on demand by spinning virtual instances up and down
• Provides access and control from anywhere and anytime through the web
• Lowers hardware costs
• Deploys flexibly on bare metal, virtually or in the cloud

The OpenSpace quantumRadio provides modulation, demodulation, error correction, and up/down frequency conversion all in software without the use of a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) or Graphics Processing Unit (GPU). The virtualized function runs on standard x86 servers on premise or in the cloud.

Key Features

• Compatibility tested with most widely used space radios
• Built-in test functions reduce Integration and Test (I&T) effort
• Configurable as mission requirements change or as new missions come online
• Standard TCP/IP, GEMS, REST, and VITA-49 interfaces
