IRIG 106 Chapter 7
Encoding & Decoding Gateways

Telspan iGU and uGU are configurable Chapter 7 gateways and live between instrumentation systems, Ethernet networks and telemetry transmitters.  The FPGAs allow the unit to function as an Ethernet-to-telemetry encoder and telemetry-to-Ethernet decoder. 

IRIG 106 Chapter 7 Gateways extend traditional PCM by enabling asynchronous packet telemetry by embedding Chapter 10 packets, TmNS messages, and/or any Ethernet frames within minor frames of PCM streams.  This provides streamlined support for mixed data type, including analog, video,
Ethernet, while minimizing overhead and preserving compatibility with legacy Chapter 4 systems.
