April 21, 2014-- Comtech Telecommunications Corp. (NASDAQ:CMTL)
announced today that its Tempe, Arizona-based subsidiary, Comtech EF
Data Corp., received a $3.1 million order for SLM-5650A Satellite Modems
from a government systems integrator. The modems will be utilized to
support the U.S. Army’s Defense Communications and Army Transmission
Systems (DCATS) satellite communications programs.
The SLM-5650A
Satellite Modem is compliant with the strict requirements defined in
MIL-STD-188-165A, modem types I, II, IV, V and VI for applications on
DSCS, WGS and commercial satellites. Data rates from 8 kbps to 155 Mbps
and symbol rates from 32 ksps to 64 Msps are supported. The modem
provides standard MIL-STD-188-114 (EIA-530 / RS-422) and EIA-613 (HSSI)
serial interfaces, and can be optionally configured to support G.703 and
Low Voltage Differential Signaling (LVDS) serial interfaces. It can also
be optionally equipped with a 4-port 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet Network
Processor module that supports switching, routing and advanced Quality
of Service protocols.
The SLM-5650A can be integrated with the Vipersat
Management System (VMS) to provide fully automated network and
capacity management. An AES-256 TRANSEC module, compliant with the
FIPS-140-2 NIST standard is also available as an option. All traffic
(including overhead and all VMS control traffic) is encrypted when using
the TRANSEC module.
“Given our proven performance, reliability and bandwidth-efficient
technologies, our single channel per carrier (SCPC) satellite modems are
utilized in the majority of the Department of Defense’s tactical
terminal programs,” commented Fred Kornberg, President and Chief
Executive Officer of Comtech Telecommunications Corp. “This order is
another example of our ability to support a diverse range of government
SATCOM initiatives.”
