January 7, 2010 (FinancialWire) — Comtech Telecommunications Corp. (NASDAQ: CMTL) said that its Tempe, Arizona-based subsidiary, Comtech EF Data Corp., received a $1.3 million order for satellite communications equipment.

A leading telecommunications operator will install Comtech’s bandwidth-efficient satellite modems to enable cellular backhaul network expansion in South America, a region that is experiencing significant satellite bandwidth shortages.

Specified in the order were the CDM-625 Advanced Satellite Modem and companion redundancy switches. The CDM-625 models ordered include an array of features ideally suited to cellular backhaul applications, including DoubleTalk(R) Carrier-in-Carrier(R) bandwidth compression, Drop & Insert and Low Density Parity Check codes.

DoubleTalk(R) Carrier-in-Carrier(R) is complementary to all advances in modem technology, including advanced forward error correction and modulation techniques. As these technologies approach theoretical limits of power and bandwidth efficiency, DoubleTalk(R) Carrier-in-Carrier(R), utilizing advanced signal processing techniques, provides a new dimension in bandwidth and power efficiency. When combined with VersaFEC or LDPC/TPC, it can provide unprecedented savings in transponder bandwidth and power utilization.

Fred Kornberg, president and chief executive officer of Comtech Telecommunications Corp. commented on the order, “The operator will leverage the globally-proven bandwidth savings features in the CDM-625 Advanced Satellite Modems to reduce satellite-based cellular backhaul operating expenses and to facilitate service expansion in a region that is bandwidth challenged.”

Comtech EF Data Corp. manufactures a broad spectrum of satellite communications products, including Satellite Modems, Bandwidth & Capacity Management, TCP/IP Performance Enhancement Proxies, Encapsulators, Receivers, Converters, Amplifiers, Transceivers and Terminals. All products meet or exceed the standards published by worldwide and regional satellite networks. Please visit www.comtechefdata.com for more information.
