Comtech receives $1.1 million critical communications order from South East Asia Ministry of Defense
Comtech Telecommunications Corp. announced that during its fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, its Tempe, Arizona-based subsidiary, Comtech EF Data Corp., which is part of Comtech's Commercial Solutions segment, received a $1.1 million order for satellite ground station equipment from a South East Asia Ministry of Defense. This initial order of SCPC modems and complementary redundancy switches is part of a network upgrade which could expand to more than 2,000 units. After a competitive Request for Proposal (“RFP”) process, followed by a technical evaluation and testing, the Ministry of Defense selected the CDM-625A Advanced Satellite Modem as the platform for its extensive network upgrade and expansion.
The CDM-625A was chosen based on its interoperability with a prior generation platform, its advanced feature set designed to provide maximum bandwidth efficiencies, including DoubleTalk® Carrier-in-Carrier® bandwidth compression and VersaFEC®-2 forward error correction, and its flexible management functionality, including SNMP v2 and v3.
