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 award-winning 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.

Fred Kornberg, President and Chief Executive Officer of Comtech Telecommunications Corp., commented, "Our technologies will enable this operator to achieve both CAPEX and OPEX savings so they can realize sustainable and profitable service expansion."
