MELVILLE, N.Y. –
January 29, 2018– Comtech Telecommunications Corp. (NASDAQ: CMTL)
announced today that during its second quarter of fiscal 2018, its
Tempe, Arizona-based subsidiary, Comtech EF Data Corp., which is part of
Comtech’s Commercial Solutions segment, was awarded a multi-million
dollar infrastructure equipment order from Telesat, a leading global
satellite operator. Telesat will utilize the equipment to support its
multi-Gigabit enhanced connectivity solutions for remote communities in
Canada’s Far North.
The order specified Comtech EF Data’s CDM-760
Advanced High-Speed Trunking and Broadcast Modem and the FX Series
WAN Optimization by its subsidiary, Memotec. The CDM-760 Advanced
High-Speed Trunking and Broadcast Modem was designed to be the most
efficient, highest throughput, point-to-point trunking and broadcast
modem available. It offers users the most advanced combination of space
segment saving capabilities while minimizing overhead. Building on
Memotec’s long experience of voice and data optimization in mobile
networks, the FX Series delivers superior IP packet optimization and
traffic shaping capabilities.
Telesat will combine the performance of powerful Ka-band, high
throughput satellite (HTS) spot beams aboard its new Telstar 19 VANTAGE
satellite, scheduled to launch mid-2018, with Comtech EF Data’s CDM-760
Advanced High-Speed Trunking and Broadcast Modem and FX Series. Through
this combination of the latest space and ground technologies, Telesat
will deliver carrier services for government, mobile and Internet
trunking with unrivaled speeds and efficiencies to communities in the
Nunavut territory of Northern Canada. These remote communities will
benefit from satellite-based connectivity with an initial service launch
of over 14 Gbps. One satellite link will approach 4 Gbps aggregate speed
using CDM-760 Advanced High-Speed Trunking and Broadcast Modems.
“Telesat undertook a complete market evaluation and determined that the
Comtech solution is the best way to maximize the performance of the
Ka-band HTS spot beams serving Northern Canada on our new Telstar 19
VANTAGE satellite launching mid-2018,” said Dave Wendling, Telesat’s
Chief Technical Officer. “Combining the HTS spot beams on Telstar 19
VANTAGE with Comtech’s advanced modem technology offers a cost-effective
solution that will transform the connectivity of Northerners across
Nunavut’s communities.”
“Effective satellite connectivity and Internet services can be lifelines
for residents in rural and remote areas,” commented Fred Kornberg,
President and Chief Executive Officer of Comtech Telecommunications
Corp. “We are proud to be working with Telesat to facilitate bringing
high-speed broadband connectivity to the communities of Nunavut.”
