F-20
The F-20 series of satellite modems from Forsway give you the easiest possible way to get high-speed Internet via satellite. The F-20 supports the new standard for satellite transmissions, DVB/S2, giving about 30% increased transponder efficiency compared to DVB-S.
The satellite modem is an integrated solution for broadband Internet over satellite. Downstream data is received from a satellite and upstream data is sent over a PSTN or GPRS/EDGE connection. Everything that is needed is integrated in the satellite modem, making it easy to get started. The user only has to connect his computer with an Ethernet cable and access a webpage in the modem to get connected.
The easy product installation and the customized web based user interface make broadband Internet accessible to everybody!

USB Extensions
The F-20 allow for simple extensions using the inbuilt USB ports.
WLAN connectivity
If a USB WLAN card is connected to the F-20 it will give the user the option to access the satellite modem over WLAN. The F-20 can work as a WLAN access point, thus allowing several computers to connect without an external access point. The F-20 can also connect to access points as a WLAN client.
Network Attached Storage
With connected USB mass-storage devices, the F-20 can act as a Network Attached Storage device.
Multicast
The F-20 can be used to receive multicast ip data from satellites. Two different approaches can be used for multicast reception:
- Multicast passthrough. The F-20 filters out the right PID and retransmitts multicast packages on the LAN. Example on an application is IP-TV.
- Multicast endpoint. The F-20 can receive files and store the files on a USB connected storage device.
Enterprise
The F-20 platform is already used in a number of different business applications.
We can offer streamlined redesign of both hardware and software to suit Your specific needs. Feel free to contact us for more information.
Internal storage.
The F-20 can be equiped with internal storage space, either with a hard drive or an USB memory stick. The storage space can be used for exampel to receive files (from satellite multicast) or to receive pushed mail.
DVB to IPTV.
The F-20 can act as a gateway for converting TV channels received with DVB-S to IPTV, for transmission to computers or set-top boxes on the LAN.
