Q9600 Series Modem

Fixed site modem technology for the commercial and military markets

Updated: January - 2026

This site will be about the Rockwell Collins Q-9600 Series modem and not the current Q-9604 modem.

This model was the first in a line of high performance HF modems created by IP Unwired (Canada) for Rockwell Collins. Note that IP Unwired was aquired by Rockwell Collins in 2007 for an undisclosed value. The Q-9600 series modem was a two (2) channel version with a number of waveforms and the Q9604 was the four (4) channel version with far more waveforms. The Q-9600 series had a basic web interface to allow basic changes.

This is the firmware versions we had:

Basic information:

It is possible in a way to compare the Q-9600 with the MDM-3000 series modem with an intelligent front end. It has very similar features with the exception it is a two channel device. More to add.
