Comtech Telecommunications Corp. Receives $2.7 Million Order for AN/TRC-170 Modem Upgrade Kits for the U.S. Marine Corps
MELVILLE, N.Y. --(Business Wire)--
November 27, 2012--Comtech Telecommunications (News - Alert) Corp. (Nasdaq: CMTL)
announced today that its Orlando, Florida-based subsidiary, Comtech
Systems, Inc. has received an order for additional AN/TRC-170 modem
upgrade kits totaling $2.7 million to complete the upgrade of the U.S.
Marine Corps fleet of AN/TRC-170s.
This additional order of kits, which will be used by the U.S. Marine
Corps to upgrade AN/TRC-170 troposcatter terminals to 16 megabits per
second, incorporate Comtech's patented Turbo Product Code forward error
correction technology. These field-proven, battle-hardened modems also
include automatic power control, which allows for lower transmitted
power when communication channel conditions permit, reducing the risk of
unfriendly intercept and interference with other communications. The
increased capability of the upgraded AN/TRC-170 terminals will reduce
the dependence on satellite communications in areas of conflict by
offering an effective alternative communications transmission medium.
Fred Kornberg (News - Alert), President andChief Executive Officer of Comtech
Telecommunications Corp., said, "We are extremely pleased by this award
from the U.S. Marine Corps for additional modem upgrade kits. Once again
our industry-leading and field-proven troposcatter modem technology was
the key to success in receiving this important award."
