April 9, 2014--Comtech Telecommunications Corp. (NASDAQ:CMTL) announced
today that its Tempe, Arizona-based subsidiary, Comtech EF Data Corp.,
was awarded a $1.4 million order to supply infrastructure equipment. A
mobile network operator in Latin America will utilize the equipment to
support an ongoing network expansion project.
The order specified the CDM-625
Advanced Satellite Modems, which are utilized by operators globally
to power satellite mobile backhaul. The Modems combine advanced forward
error correction with DoubleTalk® Carrier-in-Carrier®
bandwidth compression to provide maximum savings. DoubleTalk®
Carrier-in-Carrier® is based on Raytheon Applied Signal
Technology’s patented “Adaptive Cancellation” technology, which allows
transmit and receive carriers of a duplex link to share the same
transponder space. The optional Packet Processor for the CDM-625 was
also ordered. It will enable efficient IP networking and transport over
satellite by adding routing capability with very low overhead
encapsulation, header compression, payload compression and Quality of
Service (“QoS”). The advanced QoS combined with header and payload
compression ensures the highest quality of service with minimal jitter
and latency for real-time traffic, priority treatment of
mission-critical applications and maximum bandwidth efficiency.
Additionally, RF products were included in the order, specifically the CSAT-5060
C-Band Transceivers and the HPOD
High-Power Outdoor Amplifiers. These products are examples of
Comtech EF Data’s rugged and feature-rich outdoor ground station
equipment that are ideal for deployment in harsh environments.
Fred Kornberg, President and Chief Executive Officer of Comtech
Telecommunications Corp. commented, “This mobile network operator is
relying on Comtech equipment to support its ongoing network expansion
based on our proven ability to facilitate sustainable and profitable
connectivity. The combination of our technologies will enable the
operator to expand service offerings and to extend mobile backhaul to
rural and remote regions.”
