GDP Space Systems’ Model 2350-M2 Telemetry Gateway (TMoIP) and the Model 44XX advanced Digital Telemetry Receiver Series are among the first products to support the new IRIG 218-20 protocol. These models operate in both frame aligned and non-frame aligned modes. Additionally, these products support several proprietary TMoIP formats; the older IRIG 218-10 and IRIG 106 Chapter 10/11 over IP. They also will accept IRIG 106 Chapter 7 PCM streams, strip off the Chapter 7 wrapper, and output IRIG 106 Chapter 10/11 data over IP.
GDP Space Systems has been at the forefront of telemetry data transmission over IP networks since releasing the first product incorporating TMoIP in the 1990’s and continuing the legacy today by providing the range community with cost-effective, interoperable solutions for ground telemetry missions. “Integrating support for IRIG 218-20 into our products confirms our commitment to industry standards and interoperability and maintains our leadership position within TMoIP technology” stated Steve Nicolo, Vice President and General Manager of GDP Space Systems. “We are excited to continue incorporating IRIG 218-20 support into all of our TMoIP enabled products as part of our Network Centric Range Architecture ecosystem.”
