TOTEM SDR Spec Sheet

TOTEM SDR - Nanosatellite SDR Platform

Alén Space

TOTEM is a flight proven high performance SDR platform designed for nanosatellites. An embedded Linux and a wide frequency range transceiver allow the user to fully cover most used nanosatellite frequency bands and quickly deploy multiple communication applications designed by the user, including those already developed by Alén Space: IoT/M2M, ADS-B, AIS, DVB-S2, Spectrum Monitoring.
TOTEM includes the control unit and the RF transceiver with several RF ports for reception and transmission. An external RF frontend, with the amplifiers for each RF port used, must be integrated as a piggyback board. Alén Space also commercialize a flight proven UHF Frontend covering 400MHz or 430MHz bands fully compatible with TOTEM.
