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 an hourly software usage rate for running the Blink software modem. This charge covers the modem software itself and applies for each hour it runs. The dimensions list the supported Amazon EC2 GPU instance types, spanning the g4dn, g5, p3, p3dn, p4d, and p5 families. These names identify which hardware the software can run on, not separate pricing tiers. You choose the instance type that fits your workload. The Amazon EC2 instance is billed separately by AWS as its own infrastructure cost, on top of the modem software charge.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
The software fee applies only while the Blink software modem runs. Stopped or terminated instances accrue no modem software charge, since billing is tied to actual runtime hours. Note that a stopped instance may still incur AWS storage fees for its attached volumes, billed separately by AWS.
The listed dimensions name the supported EC2 GPU instance types across the g4dn, g5, p3, p3dn, p4d, and p5 families. They identify compatible hardware, not separate software price tiers. Your AWS infrastructure cost varies by instance type, but that portion is billed by AWS, separate from Amphinicy's modem software charge.
The modem software charge accrues per hour the Blink software runs. Billing follows your actual runtime on the chosen EC2 instance. When the modem is active, the hourly software rate applies; when it stops, the charge stops. The EC2 compute cost is metered and billed separately by AWS.

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.
