MELVILLE, N.Y. –
April 9, 2019— Comtech Telecommunications Corp. (Nasdaq: CMTL)
announced today that during its third quarter of fiscal 2019, its Tempe,
Arizona-based subsidiary, Comtech EF Data Corp., which is part of
Comtech’s Commercial Solutions segment, received a significant follow on
order from SES Networks for equipment to support its global mobility
services.
This award is focused on the high-end mobility maritime market with an
emphasis on cruise ships, but with the capability of supporting other
maritime applications. This follows on from other recent awards
addressing requirements in the Enterprise and Mobile Network Operator
vertical markets, and further demonstrates SES Networks’ trust in
Comtech EF Data’s products to deliver solutions where the utmost
performance, robustness, efficiency and quality of experience counts.
Supporting SES Networks’ growing mobility business, the order specified
multiple Heights™
Networking Platform hubs, H-Pro Remote Gateways, HX Series Load
Balancing and NetVue™ Integrated Management System. The integration of
Comtech EF Data’s Heights™ Networking Platform and the HX Load Balancing
equipment will allow links on multiple transponders to be aggregated to
provide high throughput services.
The Heights™ Networking Platform was designed with the carrier grade
service provider and its multi-user environments in mind. It combines
advanced mobility features including Global Roaming, Automatic Beam
Switching and an integrated mobility controller with the industry’s most
efficient waveforms, the evolutionary Heights™ Dynamic Network Access
(“H-DNA”) dynamic network access technology, header and payload
compression engines, along with bi-directional Adaptive Coding &
Modulation (“ACM”) capability to provide the highest user throughput,
highest availability, and most optimal resource utilization available in
the industry. This combination makes the HeightsTM Networking
Platform the ideal mobility solution for serving super yachts, merchant
shipping, seismic survey ships, drilling rigs and oil & gas production
facilities.
“Mobility, particularly in the cruise industry, is an important segment
for SES Networks,” said Eric Watko, Executive Vice President, Product,
Marketing & Strategy of SES Networks. “Like our maritime customers, we
believe in providing unrivalled guest-centric experiences via our
high-performance managed broadband connectivity services. Comtech EF
Data’s Heights™ Networking Platform is ideally suited to help us achieve
this goal because of its high throughput and efficiency. The combination
of Heights™ and the HX Load Balancing will allow us to intelligently and
efficiently keep up with our customers’ growing demand while maintaining
flexibility in the use of our space segment inventory.”
“Our HeightsTM Networking Platform is modular in design with
scalable hubs that support any satellite architecture and frequency
band, and allows for multiple cost-effective expansion paths,” commented
Fred Kornberg, President and Chief Executive Officer of Comtech
Telecommunications Corp. “We are honored to have been selected to supply
equipment that will provide first-rate quality experiences for SES
Networks’ mobility customers.”
