[November 10, 2009] Comtech EF Data wins $1.6 million order for satellite communications equipment Tweet Nov 10, 2009 (Datamonitor via COMTEX) -- Comtech Telecommunications has announced that its subsidiary, Comtech EF Data, has won a $1.6 million order for satellite communications equipment. An Asian mobile operator will utilize the equipment to support satellite-based cellular backhaul service expansion. Comtech Telecommunications said that the order specifies Comtech EF Data's CDM-600 satellite modems and redundancy switches, plus the CX-U Series cellular backhaul platform from its subsidiary, Memotec. The CDM-600 is an open network satellite modem compliant with IESS-308/309/310/314/315 from 64kbps through T2 and E2. The architecture is firmware and FPGA-based, and the modem offers good flexibility and performance in a 1RU enclosure, noted Comtech. Memotec's CX-U Series is a cellular backhaul platform that delivers radio access network optimization and A/E voice trunks compression. The CX-U reportedly reduces the bandwidth required to backhaul cellular traffic, therefore avoiding costly forklift network upgrades. The result is a significant reduction in operating and capital expenses, according to Comtech. Fred Kornberg, president and CEO of Comtech Telecommunications, said: "Globally accepted as the premier provider of bandwidth-efficient satellite modems and Abis bandwidth optimization equipment, our solutions enable cost-effective service expansion by operators." http://www.datamonitor.com Republication or redistribution, including by framing or similar means, is expressly prohibited without prior written consent.
