Comtech Telecommunications Corp. (Nasdaq:CMTL) announced its Maryland-based subsidiary, Comtech Mobile Datacom Corporation, launched its nexgen Blue Force Tracking High Capacity (BFT-HC) solution for satellite-enhanced asset tracking and secure mobile data communications.

Developed to meet the U.S. Army's demanding requirements for its nexgen mobile tracking system, BFT-HC ensures the seamless flow of information across the battlespace, giving soldiers timely access to critical information when and where it is needed the most. Comtech's BFT-HC mobile tracking solution delivers superior performance through its three core components: our Advanced Software Defined Radio (ASDR) transceivers, improved ground station equipment featuring our Adaptive Multiuser Detection (AMD) signal processing technology, and enhancements to our battle-proven satellite communications network.

• Our breakthrough ASDR transceiver technology delivers maximum operational flexibility with multiple data rates, allowing customers to choose the best, most cost effective satellite service for each mission or operating theater, and ensuring optimal performance with substantial operational cost savings. Our advanced antenna design enables higher message completion rates at all elevation angles and in environments where conventional communications are unavailable or unreliable
• Our state-of-the-art ground station signal processing enhancements ensure soldiers' messages are received and processed, even in the most congested communication environments. Comtech's patent-pending AMD product built on an underlying algorithm from our partner, DSpace, eliminates signal noise problems encountered in earlier solutions and dramatically expands the mobile satellite channel's uplink capacity, improving return link performance by a factor of 20 over previous generation earth station equipment. We believe ours is the first successful implementation of Multi-User Detection (MUD) in an active mobile satellite environment
• Our satellite communications network delivers highly secure connections to combat forces, supports more frequent position reporting with less signal delay and handles larger packet payloads. Comtech's network enhancements implement the latest technology, minimizing channel interference and signal overlaps, maximizing total communication performance, ensuring low-latency, assured information delivery to Warfighters operating world-wide, even in the most distressed or challenging locations

Comtech's BFT-HC solution frees the Army from pressure to immediately replace or retrofit legacy equipment in order to implement tomorrow's technology today. With BFT-HC, the Army can leverage its existing BFT technology investment, continuing to use its 80,000 plus installed transceivers and world-wide support infrastructure while seamlessly transitioning to the next-generation BFT mobile tracking system. This low risk, high return approach meets or exceeds all requirements mandated by the Army's Force XXI Battle Command Brigade and Below - Blue Force Tracking (FBCB2-BFT) program for the next generation BFT system.
