June 2, 2014--Comtech Telecommunications Corp. (NASDAQ: CMTL) announced
today that during its most recent quarter ended April 30, 2014, its
Tempe, Arizona-based subsidiary, Comtech EF Data Corp., was awarded $1.0
million in follow-on equipment orders from a Mobile Network Operator
(MNO) in Africa. The equipment will be used for a network upgrade that
will transport and optimize voice and data communications, and
facilitate subscriber growth across the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
The CDM-625 Advanced Satellite Modems and compatible CRS-170A 1:1 Modem
Redundancy Switches were specified in the order. The CDM-625 combines
advanced Forward Error Correction such as VersaFEC®
and Low Density Parity Check codes with the revolutionary DoubleTalk®
Carrier-in-Carrier® bandwidth compression. DoubleTalk®
Carrier-in-Carrier®, based on patented “Adaptive
Cancellation” technology, allows transmit and receive carriers of a
duplex link to share the same transponder space. This combination of
technologies enables users to minimize OPEX and CAPEX, and maximize both
throughput and availability without additional transponder resources.
Also ordered was the AccessGate™ RAN optimization systems, by Comtech EF
Data’s subsidiary, Memotec.
The AccessGate systems employ a unique, patented set of aggregation and
bandwidth optimization techniques that enable MNOs to maximize network
utilization, facilitate rapid expansion and reduce operating costs for
mobile networks.
Fred Kornberg, President and Chief Executive Officer of Comtech
Telecommunications Corp., commented on the order, “This operator teamed
with Comtech EF Data to support its network upgrade and regional growth
based on our proven ability to enable sustainable and profitable service
expansion without quality degradation.”
