NM-1VSAT-GILAT Cisco IP VSAT Satellite WAN Network Module

The NM-1VSAT-GILAT is the Cisco IP VSAT Satellite WAN Network Module, an indoor unit in network module form that adds two-way broadband satellite connectivity to a Cisco router for WAN backup, IP multicast and broadband internet access. The spare ordering number is NM-1VSAT-GILAT=.

The module supports Ku-band and C-band frequencies and works with satellite services that use Gilat SkyEdge hub systems. Receive speeds run from 340 Kbps to 10 Mbps and transmit speeds from 60 Kbps to 1.3 Mbps, and unicast traffic from the hub to the remote site is protected with 128-bit AES encryption.

Two coaxial connectors pass transmit and receive signals to the outdoor unit, and a power connector feeds it. The module needs a satellite kit with a dish antenna, an outdoor unit power supply and cables. It is single-wide, measures 1.60 x 7.10 x 7.2 inches (4.1 x 18.0 x 18.3 cm) and weighs up to 0.75 pounds (0.34 kg). Six LEDs report enable, Rx lock, sync lock, on line, transmit and external power status.

Supported platforms are the Cisco 3800, 3700, 2800, 2691 and 2600XM series, excluding the 2801, with Cisco IOS 12.3(14)T or later. The 2800 series includes the CISCO2811 integrated services router. More WAN modules are in Cisco interface cards.
