Comtech  announced that during its fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, it was awarded multiple contracts aggregating $6.3 million for 500W Ka-band traveling wave tube amplifiers (“TWTAs”) for both military and commercial High-throughput Satellite (“HTS”) systems.

HTS systems offer the high speed of fiber with the reliability, global coverage and flexibility of a satellite architecture. Military and commercial customers demand high-capacity data rates with fiber-like connectivity.

“Comtech’s 500W family of Ka-band TWTAs provide the power needed for these high-capacity connections,” said Fred Kornberg, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Comtech Telecommunications Corp. “Working with Ka-band HTS system integrators and satellite operators, Comtech provides the power amplifier solutions they need.”
