Comtech EF Data Corp., a subsidiary of Comtech Telecommunications (News - Alert) Corp. that develops satellite communication products, has received a $1.2 million order for satellite modems.
A mobile operator will deploy the modems to support satellite-based cellular backhaul in Africa.
According to company officials, the order specified the CDM-625 Advanced Satellite Modem, which is ideal for cellular backhaul applications in regions where satellite bandwidth constraints exist.
The CDM-625 Advanced Satellite Modem combines revolutionary technologies, including DoubleTalk Carrier-in-Carrier bandwidth compression, low density parity check codes and the next-generation forward error correction, VersaFEC with Adaptive Coding & Modulation.
The CDM-625's advanced technologies facilitate maximum bandwidth efficiencies.
“By utilizing Comtech's bandwidth-efficient technologies, operators can maximize satellite throughput without using additional transponder resources,” Fred Kornberg (News - Alert), president and CEO of Comtech Telecommunications Corp., said.
Recently, Comtech EF Data Corp. was awarded a $1.6 million order for satellite communications equipment.
According to reports, an Asian mobile operator will utilize the equipment to support satellite-based cellular backhaul service expansion.
Company officials said the order specifies Comtech EF Data's (News - Alert) CDM-600 Satellite Modems and redundancy switches, plus the CX-U Series cellular backhaul platform from its subsidiary, Memotec, Inc.
The CDM-600 is an open network satellite modem compliant with IESS-308/309/310/314/315 from 64 kbps through T2 and E2.
Memotec's CX-U Series is a dedicated cellular backhaul platform that delivers Radio Access Network optimization and A/E voice trunks compression.
Earlier TMCnet reported that Comtech EF Data Corp has received a $1.0 million order for satellite communications equipment from a government contractor.
The equipment will be used by the United States government to support military communications.
According to company officials, the order specified a variety of Comtech EF Data's frequency converters, including the UT-4514 Ku-Band Up Converter, the DT-4513 Ku-Band Down Converter and the LBC-4000 L-Band Up/Down Converter System.
