[SatNews] Comtech Telecommunications Corp. (Nasdaq:CMTL) announced today that its Tempe, Arizona-based subsidiary, Comtech EF Data Corp., received $1.0 million in satellite communications equipment orders.

A leading Asian cellular mobile operator will facilitate a service expansion by adding the equipment to an existing mobile backhaul network already powered by Comtech. A variety of Comtech EF Data infrastructure equipment was ordered, including the CDM-625 Advanced Satellite Modem, companion redundancy switches and the CSAT-5060 C-band Transceivers. The CDM-625 Advanced Satellite Modem combines advanced technologies for maximum bandwidth efficiency under all conditions, including DoubleTalk® Carrier-in-Carrier® bandwidth compression, patented VersaFEC® low latency LDPC forward error correction with Adaptive Coding and Modulation, patent-pending ultra low overhead streamline encapsulation, header compression and payload compression. The CSAT-5060 C-band Transceivers provide flexibility, ease of installation and RF performance typically available only with independent, solid-state power amplifier and frequency converter topologies.

Also ordered was the CX-U Series from Comtech EF Data's subsidiary, Memotec, Inc. The CX-U Series brings together a flexible cell site gateway device and mobile backhaul traffic optimization, offering a variety of interfaces and transmission options. The CX-U Series reduces the bandwidth required to backhaul mobile traffic and eliminates the need for costly major network upgrades. The result is a significant reduction in operating and capital expenses.
