Datum Systems, a global leader in low size, weight and power (SWaP) satellite and troposcatter modem products names Lou Dubin Vice President of Development and Marketing effective May 1, 2023.  Mr. Dubin will lead the company in expanding its leadership in the backdrop of the industry’s transformation of software defined solutions, global ubiquitous connectivity and multi-orbit satellite and non-line-of-sight communications needs.

Lou Dubin joins Datum with over 30 years of experience in the satellite and wireless industry. He previously served as Comtech Satellite Network Technologies Senior Vice President of Product Management, Vice President of Engineering and Vice President of Marketing.  During his tenure with Comtech, Mr. Dubin aligned product development with first to market solutions that enabled software defined ground segment solutions to address LEO, MEO and GEO constellations through a single user platform.  Prior to Comtech Mr. Dubin held the roles of President and Senior Vice President of Sales at Radyne Corporation driving the company from a small privately held operation to a public company with over $120M in revenue and a broad mix of satellite products and solutions.
