[SatNews] Comtech Telecommunications Corp. (Nasdaq: CMTL) has announced that its Orlando, Florida-based subsidiary, Comtech Systems, Inc., recently received an order for $1.2 million from a Canadian Public Utility to upgrade its existing over-the-horizon microwave communications systems with Comtech’s state-of-the-art CS67200i digital troposcatter modem.
Comtech was selected for this project due to its long history as a world leader in troposcatter equipment and systems, particularly its high data rate, field-proven troposcatter digital modems. The upgraded systems will enable a data rate of up to 22Mbps of low-latency communications between hydroelectric power stations.
In commenting on this award, Fred Kornberg, President and Chief Executive Officer of Comtech Telecommunications Corp., said, "Once again, Comtech was chosen due to our extensive experience and proven design capability in fielding high capacity troposcatter products and systems, as well as our proven tropo modem performance."
