Comtech EF Data Corp. announced today that it was once again named the
largest Single Channel per Carrier (SCPC) satellite modem supplier in
the COMSYS VSAT Report, 13th Edition.
The recently published report identifies that the Comtech EF Data
solution suite is utilized by the majority of the top 160 VSAT operators
globally. Comtech remains the largest preferred supplier for mainstream
corporate applications and its satellite modems continue to dominate the
market for cellular backhaul links. Citing the Company’s recent major
wins from Globecomm and from Harris CapRock Communications with its new
Advanced VSAT solution suite, the report also states that Comtech EF
Data now has an established foothold in the oil & gas and maritime
premium enterprise market.
The report explains that the introduction of its Advanced VSAT Solution
suite has allowed Comtech EF Data to build a managed network value
proposition on top of its industry-leading SCPC systems. The solution
suite offers operators a scalable shared hub platform which can start
small, easily support a full range of network topologies, and
incorporates the most advanced transmission technologies available today
at both ends of a circuit. To best support the design, rollout and
operation of today’s complex premium enterprise networks, Comtech EF
Data has developed an experienced team of engineers to provide the
necessary technical support to optimize performance and cost.
“Comtech has a reputation for building reliable and highly
bandwidth-efficient hardware,” said Simon Bull, Senior Consultant for
COMSYS. “One of the reasons Comtech EF Data has been so successful in
the cellular backhaul market has been its cutting-edge coding and
modulation techniques that provide the best bits/hertz ratios possible,
and these have become the foundation of the value proposition behind its
Advanced VSAT Solution suite, targeting the premium enterprise market.”
Due to high satellite capacity costs and constant price pressures,
permanently assigned bandwidth is often not the ideal solution
regardless of how efficient a link might be. As stated in the report,
Comtech timed the entry of the Advanced VSAT almost perfectly. An
integrated system able to dynamically allocate SCPC channels to a
cost-effective modem with the capability to process throughput rates of
up to 160 Mbps, bi-directionally, became an attractive option. These
features coupled with the system’s ability to support multi-transponder
operation and cross-strapped or cross-banded capacity positioned Comtech
EF Data to recently win significant projects for the supply of
integrated network solutions.
“We leveraged our patented technologies and the ultimate in throughput,
efficiency, flexibility and reliability into our managed network
solutions suite,” commented Steve Good, Vice President, Marketing for
Comtech EF Data. “We have built upon our leadership position in modems
and RF equipment and have placed significant focus on satellite network
design and operation within our purpose-built, future-looking Advanced
VSAT Solution suite. This includes placing more focus on network
management, platform upgrade paths and ongoing support to ensure that a
premium enterprise’s satellite network is running optimally. We greatly
appreciate COMSYS’ recognition of our significant contribution to the
industry along with our vision of the future of the satellite networking
market.”
The VSAT Report is known as the definitive study on the satellite
industry enabling telecommunication and IT managers, existing and
prospective system operators, manufacturers and integrators to stay
competitive and increase profitability. The comprehensive study involved
interviews with and about over 300 different service providers with
individual reports on more than 160 VSAT operators and over 30 different
product platforms from all the major vendors.
