This mobile operator will utilize the equipment to expand its existing Comtech EF Data-based mobile backhaul network to support both fixed and mobile users To support the network expansion, the mobile operator will leverage the CDM-760 Advanced High-Speed Trunking Modem, which provides maximum link efficiencies at high speeds via its industry-leading DVB-S2 Efficiency Boost technology and the CDM-625A Advanced Satellite Modem, equipped with the VersaFEC®-2 Forward Error Correction to provide the best application performance for medium- to low-speed links. Both modems leverage the DoubleTalk® Carrier-in-Carrier® bandwidth re-use technique to provide optimal economics. In addition, the CX-U Series RAN Optimization and intelligent LPOD Ku-Band Block Up Converter (BUC) will be utilized. The mobile operator will leverage innovations within these products to support a number of different end user applications, including high-speed backhaul of 2G and 3G traffic of up to 70 Mbps to fixed remote sites and to temporary 3G installations for remote oil and gas customers. In addition, the solution suite will provide on-demand support for VIP customers along with high-speed connectivity to Mobile-on-Wheels vehicles that provide bandwidth when and where needed on a temporary basis, whether for scheduled events or for unexpected purposes such as for disaster recovery communications. “This mobile operator will harness the horsepower and flexibility of the Comtech EF Data product suite to support a diverse set of bandwidth-hungry applications,” commented Dr. Stanton Sloane, President and Chief Executive Officer of Comtech Telecommunications Corp. “We are proud to continue to enable this customer to provide remote users underserved by terrestrial alternatives with the reliable, true broadband experience they require.”
