RM10 Product Overview
The RM10 Wideband Software Defined Modem (SDM) provides a
purpose-built standalone hardware platform for strategic and
maritime WBHF Beyond Line-of-Sight (BLOS) and V/UHF Line-of-
Sight (LOS) radio communications.
The RM10 data modem waveforms address the need for higher
throughput needed for high-capacity HF & V/UHF data
communication over wideband radio channels.
The UHF data modems are specified in STANAG 4691 Annex B,
providing a suite of LOS data modem waveforms occupying a
bandwidth and a maximum user data rate of 96 kbps. The
STANAG 4691 waveform is used in a TDMA systems, together
with the MARLIN Network Controller as specified in STANAG
4691 Annex A. The MARLIN Network Controller is provided in the
RC10, and implements an ad hoc routing and relaying protocol for
Extended Line-Of-Sight (ELOS) (via a 2 or 3 hop MANET) over UHF
communications channels.
A RapidM proprietary VHF waveform offers user data rates up to
128 kbps in a 24 kHz bandwidth.
V/UHF Data Modem
The RM10 offers standards-based UHF data modems as specified
in the NATO STANAG 4691 Annex B, providing user data rates
between 12k8 bps and 96 kbps. This waveform is primarily used
with legacy radios that provide a wideband (25 kHz) audio
interface and is used for both broadcast and Automatic Repeat
reQuest (ARQ) and TDMA operation.
The RM10 modem features a high performance adaptive
equalizer to deal with dynamic multi-path distortion associated
with mobile communications. The S4691 is an AUTOBAUD (selfidentifying) waveform family. Four block interleavings lengths of
20 ms, 80 ms, 320 ms and 1.28 s are provided. The FEC is based
on a full-tail-biting constraint length 9 convolutional code.

The RM10's low data rates (non-QAM) are suitable for use with a
non-linear power amplifier (PA). Higher rates require a linear PA
or can work with wideband FM or AM radios. The Ultra Short
interleaver is intended for IP traffic and Medium is for video
streaming; Long is for high-capacity data traffic at low vehicle
speeds (slow fading channels).

Integration with the RC10 MARLIN Node Controller
A typical UHF LOS node consists of a RC10 STANAG 4691 MARLIN
Node Controller and a RM10 V/UHF Data Modem, with optional link
encryption between the controller and the modem. The modem
audio output is connected to a radio (half or full duplex) forming a
single frequency network. Normally an IP router is connected to the
node controller, enabling local area networks (LANs) to be
interconnected via the RC10 Node Controller.
Single nodes, typically deployed on ships, may connect to the
network given that they utilize the same operation frequency,
parameter set and encryption.
