announced today that its Orlando, Florida-based subsidiary, Comtech
Systems, Inc., recently received approximately $6.0 million of orders to

which will connect offshore oil platforms to shore-based stations for

Executive Officer of Comtech Telecommunications Corp., said “Once again,
Comtech was chosen due to our extensive experience and proven design
capability in fielding high capacity troposcatter products and systems,
as well as our proven tropo modem performance.”
