The following are considered asynchronous operations. The interval between transmitting A and B is not the same as between B and C. The ability to initiate a transmission at either end.  Serial Interface (ASI ASI,

Quadrature Amplitude Modulation - (QAM) A method for encoding digital data in an analog signal in which each combination of phase and amplitude represents one of sixteen four bit patterns. This is required for fax transmission at 9600 bits per second.

It used a single antenna at the highest location in the community in order to deliver a quality signal to homes in areas with hilly terrain or other interference.  channel. The AQM is a compact, high-performance solution for the digital cable television headend Cable television headend is a master facility for receiving television signals for processing and distribution over a cable television system. The headend facility is normally unstaffed and surrounded by some type of security fencing and is typically a building or large shed .

The AQM integrates an advanced QAM modulator with an exceptionally low noise upconverter with optimized output stability. The QAM modulator utilizes the latest integrated circuit technology to support common symbol constellations of 64 and 256 QAM, as well as next generation technology of 512 & 1024 QAM. It is the first commercially available QAM modulator in the market to support 1024-QAM. It uses the standard Blonder Tongue micro-modular rack chassis and power supply, allowing it to coexist with existing equipment.

The integrated modulator/upconverter eliminates multiple interconnects, thereby improving reliability and ease of use. Other optional AQM versions available include a parallel LVDS (Low Voltage Differential (hardware) Low Voltage Differential - (LVD) A method of driving SCSI cables that will be formalised in the SCSI-3 specifications. LVD uses less power than the current differential drive (HVD), is less expensive and will allow the higher speeds of Ultra-2 SCSI. LVD requires 3.  Signaling) input version and an IF (Intermediate Frequency) output version.

Blonder Tongue President, Bob Palle stated, "We are proud to be a pioneer in developing a product for the cable television industry that embraces advanced technology like 512 and 1024 QAM. Not only can the AQM be used in digital headends, but also in the laboratory environment in next generation testing." Mr. Palle continued, "This product is another example of Blonder Tongue's tradition of developing high performance products at extremely affordable prices."
