Blink AMI is the ideal choice for satellite operators interested in using the AWS Ground Station virtualized ground segment. Operators can command, control and upload/download payload from own satellites in real time. Blink's support for TT&C, narrow- and wideband payload uplink and downlink (including CCSDS and DVB-S2(X) standards), as well as rich reports indispensable in AIT/AIV and operational troubleshooting make this multi-mission, versatile and flexible software modem the modem of choice for next generation of ground station operations.
Overview
Amphinicy Technologies has developed Blink - next-gen software modem to enable anyone interested in Earth observation and space science to command own satellite and receive its payload data in real time - reliably, efficiently and conveniently. Blink AMI is a distribution of Blink Modem which allows operators flexible use of AWS Ground Station network. They can start and stop modem instances and other related infrastructure only when needed, minimizing cost and maximizing scalability.
Blink is a real-time, high data rate, software satellite modem designed to run on standard COTS servers. It moves digital signal processing from high-maintenance single-purpose 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 narrowband public broadcast downlink. For configuring the modem for any other mission or purpose, 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 for TT&C; CCSDS and DVB-S2(X) protocols (including CCSDS over DVB-S2(X)) for uplink and downlink; including constant, variable and adaptive decoding and demodulation (CCM, VCM, ACM), with 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.

Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for the Amazon EC2 instance you run this software modem on. Pricing is not tiered by feature. Instead, each hourly rate ties to a specific GPU-accelerated instance type. Options span the g4dn and g5 families for smaller to mid-range GPU capacity, plus the p3, p3dn, p4d, and p5 families for higher-performance compute. As you select a larger instance size, the hourly rate rises with the added CPU, GPU, and memory. You choose the instance that matches your workload, and billing accrues only for the hours you run it.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
The rate covers the software modem license running on that specific GPU-accelerated EC2 instance. It ties to a named instance type from the g4dn, g5, p3, p3dn, p4d, or p5 families. You pay for each hour the instance runs, matched to its CPU, GPU, and memory capacity.
The software license meters running hours only. When you stop the instance, hourly software charges stop accruing. Note that stopped instances may still incur separate AWS storage fees for attached volumes, but those are AWS infrastructure charges, not the modem software license.
You select a smaller instance type. The g4dn and g5 families offer lower GPU capacity at lower hourly rates. The p3, p3dn, p4d, and p5 families cost more per hour for higher-performance compute. You match the instance to your workload size to control cost.

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.
