Comtech EF Data wins $1.2M order for satellite communications infrastructure equipment

Comtech Telecommunications Corp., announced that its subsidiary company, Comtech EF Data Corp., received an order worth $1.2 million to provide satellite communications infrastructure equipment in rural Latin America.

The mobile network operator in Latin America will make use of the equipment to expand its existing 2G, 2.5G and 3G networks, as well as allow 3G HSPA mobile broadband into rural and distant areas. Officials from Comtech said that the order includes satellite modems, redundancy switches, and indoor and outdoor frequency conversion systems.

"We were selected to supply products for this network expansion based on our proven ability to facilitate sustainable and profitable connectivity," Fred Kornberg, President and CEO of Comtech Telecommunications Corp. said in a statement. "The combination of our technologies enables operators globally to build out networks in rural and remote areas with low density populations, expand existing networks to support subscriber and traffic growth and upgrade networks to add new services.”

The CDM-750 Advanced High-Speed Trunking Modem and the mobile operators' de facto standard -- the CDM-625 Advanced Satellite Modem -- were specified in the order. The two models feature technologies that allow bandwidth efficiencies, link optimization and a reduction in operating expenses. Meanwhile, designed to be the most efficient and highest throughput point-to-point trunking modem, the CDM-750 accommodates the most demanding backhaul links by providing the most advanced combination of space segment saving capabilities, at the same time minimizing the need for unnecessary overhead. The CDM-625 combines advanced Forward Error Correction, like VersaFEC and Low Density Parity Check codes with DoubleTalk Carrier-in-Carrier bandwidth compression, allowing for maximum savings under all conditions.
