An apparatus and method for significantly increasing the coding gain of a system used for data communications while still maintaining a high code rate (net data rate/gross data rate) and throughput by using a concatenated coding arrangement wherein error correction capabilities are optimized, having an encoder for encoding data to be transmitted with a first code type to form an outer code which is capable of correcting burst errors and further detecting if the remaining data is error free, and for encoding the data and the outer code with a second code type to form an inner code which is capable of correcting random errors and detecting multiple bit errors.
