The AP8000 can be used to aggregate multiple satellite services, at high data rates across a variety of infrastructures. Within Military Satcoms it provides a means of multiplexing up to 8 Remote Satellite Terminal Links into a single back-haul or reach-back link. Added to this is the fact that it can run 7 x EIA530 Crypto End to End Links at a Maximum 20Mbps per link.

The AP8000 is typically used for high speed satellite link back-haul, where there is a requirement to support 7-8 satellite services over a Link. This was added to the Access Processor range primarily as a means of fanning out lower speed services from a E3, DS-3 or OC-3 Link. As with any of the APSAT Platform it supports all the AP Modules. The AP8000 can provide a variety of different interfaces such as E1 (Voice), 10/100BaseT (E-mail/Internet), ASI (Video) and EIA530 (Crpyto) and support these across all the different Satellite Modems. This is particularly useful for Welfare Communications over Satellite.

The added feature of the AP8000 is that it can be fitted with or without an In Band Management Module. Without the Module you have 9 slots available to use. The name of this product is the AP8000L. With the Redundant Power Supply fitted this would be the AP8000LR.
The AP8000 with In-Band Management is simply the AP8000. With a Redundant Power Supply it's the AP8000R.
