Overview
Amphinicy Technologies has developed Blink Modem to enable anyone interested in Earth observation and space science to receive satellite payload data in real time - reliably, efficiently and conveniently. Blink AMI is a distribution of Blink Modem which allows operators convenient use with AWS GS. They can start and stop modem instances and other related infrastructure, minimizing cost and maximizing scalability.
Blink is a real-time, high data rate, software-based satellite modem designed to run on standard servers. It moves digital signal processing from high-maintenance hardware to software. It can run on bare metal (e.g., a standard server or laptop) or virtual/cloud environments. Blink can bring previously impossible missions to life and make missions generally easier to manage, more productive and cheaper to set up and evolve.
The default Blink AMI configuration provides support for the Suomi NPP mission. For configuring the modem for any other mission, please contact blink-support@amphinicy.com .
Licensing for Blink AMI may be obtained at competitive prices via a private offer. For more information, please contact awsmarketplace@amphinicy.com .
General support of CCSDS and DVB-S2/S2X protocols (including CCSDS over DVB-S2) and DVB-S2/S2X variable and adaptive coding and modulation (VCM, ACM) is available, along with DVB-S2/DVB-S2X uplink in CCM mode. For more details, please contact blink-support@amphinicy.com .
Important note: The customer is responsible for determining if the product ordered suits their needs.

Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.
