Hughes Software-Defined Core Module

The Software-defined Core Module (SCM) is the Hughes next generation small form-factor modem building block for use in fixed, land/aero/maritime, and portable satellite communication (SATCOM) terminals and gateways for government and commercial applications.

The SCM is frequency band agnostic. Equipped with dual RX/TX paths, the SCM is ideally suited to support resilient communication links, higher throughput data links to meet the wide range of mobility and portability requirements that government users demand. The SCM can meet 3U OpenVPX standards or integrate into various product configurations to support embedded, integrated, or chassis variants. It meets strict environmental and military standards.

The SCM can host multiple waveforms that can be activated at runtime based on operational needs.
