The Homeland Security Business Unit of Telefunken Racoms provides police, frontier defence, coastguard, search and rescue units with innovative systems. These products are used for the reconnaissance and surveillance of conflict or disaster regions as well as for safeguarding major events. Latest innovation is the "iRG-4G Gateway", a low-cost, compact VSAT that is scalable in both performance and capability, making it a universal solution for businesses of all sizes and growth stages.

The iRG-4G supports from QPSK to 32APSK modulation and dynamic ACM (Adaptive Coding and Modulation) on the outbound path and 8PSK modulation with FEC of 2/3 and 8/9 on the inbound path. 32APSK modulation combined with dynamic ACM improves the link efficiency by more then 50 per cent compared to DVB-S2 8PSK modulation and CCM. Furthermore the iRG-4G dynamic ACM enable it to have link availability up to 100 per cent regardless of weather conditions.

This user-friendly terminal adapts to changing needs, allowing to seamlessly upgrade system capabilities over satellite using a simple software "key." This scalability allows to make a minimal hardware investment and later move to a more powerful solution without having to purchase additional hardware.

The iRG-4G gateway supports DVB-S2/ACM in addition to DVB-S standard. Supporting standard-based solutions that employ advanced technologies to offer unparalleled efficiency and functionality. On the forward link the support of DVB-S2/ACM technology includes advanced LDPC coding and QPSK to 32APSK modulations for improved performance. The terminal supports turbo codes, dual continuous and burst mode operation and data rates of up to 4 Mbps. It has an advanced set of networking capabilities, including Quality of Service and acceleration. To support flexible connectivity of end-user equipment to the iRG-4G, this unit comes equipped with 2 Ethernet ports, as well as 2 voice ports (RJ-11).

The terminal is ideal for:
• Fast Internet Access
• Voice over IP Telephony
• Videoconferencing
• Interactive Distance Learning
• VPN (secure) Applications
• CRM
• IP Multicast Applications
• Telemedicine
• Terrestrial Backup
• Governmental & Military Applications
• Reliable Business-To-Business (B2B)

The iRG-4G comes equipped with a 10/100 BaseT Ethernet port for direct connection to a LAN, WLL, ADSL and other last mile interface equipment. The terminal has low power consumption and the ruggedness required for operation in difficult environments.
