NEWS

During the 2023 Space Symposium trade show, we reached 7,000 CORTEX delivered! For more than 25 years, Cortex products have been a part of all phases of satellite projects from satellite manufacturing to in-orbit operations.

May 23, 2023

Number 1 for TT&C and High-Speed Telemetry

The Cortex Series is the best ally for Satellite Communications, Station Keeping, and Data Reception. Our modems are used by the vast majority of Satellite Operators and Space Agencies.

As Innovation never stops, the Cortex series are now available in two versions:

– Software: NuRoN on any IT platform (On-premise, Edge, Cloud) up to 10 Gb/s

– Optical versions: Cortex Lasercom / In Deep Space version, Cortex eXplorer (deep space EnVision, Vigil, Psyche), telecommunication, TMI

CORTEX CRT, TT&C Low Rate Modem

The CORTEX CRT is the go-to COTS modem, offering support for any satellite (LEO/MEO/GEO) from the manufacturing phase to orbit operations. With its flexible design, CORTEX CRT technology is available in various form factors and architectures (all-in-one-box, virtualized software modem) tailored to your system requirements. With over 6,000 deployed units, field-proven compatibility with all commercial satellite platforms, the CORTEX CRT stands as the risk-free Command & Control (C2) modem in the space community. It goes beyond demodulation and modulation capabilities, providing an RF recorder and reproducer mode to ensure no critical data is lost and simplifying ground station readiness testing (collimation tower transmission) and satellite compatibility testing.

CORTEX HDR, High Data Rate Modem

Safran Data Systems, Inc. brings you the CORTEX HDR – your go-to solution for high data rate transmissions across X, Ka, and wider bands. With a worldwide deployment of over 1,000 CORTEX HDR units, it stands as the no-risk choice for your ground station data reception needs. Designed with future generations in mind, it boasts the capability to demodulate up to six channels at lightning speeds, with an impressive aggregate bit rate of up to 10 Gbps. Plus, its adaptable satellite check-out interfaces make mission qualification smoother and quicker.
