BUC

L-band remote terminals are becoming very popular and are now very reliable as well.  Though the L-band modem is usually more expensive, the whole package for the remote earth station is much less expensive in the L-band option.  Keep in mind, the package is called L-band but the actual satellite frequencies it works on is either C-band or KU-band – most L-band modems will work with either C-band or KU-band BUCs.  Watch for power requirements and L.O. setting requirements – make sure your modem can support the BUC you are planning on using.  Iron Link sells a variety of BUCs, each is tested here before being shipped to you.
