Comtech EF Data Corp., was awarded a $1.2 million order
from a government systems integrator. The order specified
SLM-5650A Satellite Modems, which will be deployed by the
U.S. Government to support a satellite-based communications
network.
The Satellite Modem is compliant with the strict requirements
defined in MIL STD-188-165A, modem types I, II, IV, V and VI for
applications on DSCS, WGS and commercial satellites. Advanced
features are available for the SLM-5650A Satellite Modem,
including a Network Processor module, integration with the
Vipersat Management System for fully automated network and
capacity management, and an AES-256 TRANSEC module that is
validated to the FIPS-140-2 NIST standard.
"The SLM-5650A provides field-proven reliability, security
and bandwidth efficiencies,” said Fred Kornberg, President and
Chief Executive Officer of Comtech Telecommunications Corp.
“This order is a testament to the U.S. Government’s confidence
in Comtech’s equipment.”
