Comtech Telecommunications Corp. Announces a $3.1 Million Contract to Provide Over-the-Horizon Microwave Capability for U.S. Military Tactical Transmission Systems.Business Editors MELVILLE, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 8, 2004 Comtech Telecommunications Communicating information, including data, text, pictures, voice and video over long distance. See communications. Corp. (Nasdaq: CMTL CMTL Chief Military Training Leader CMTL Center for Mathematics, Teaching and Learning ) announced today that its Orlando, Florida-based subsidiary, Comtech Systems, Inc., has received a $3.1 million contract award from a U.S. prime contractor to provide its over-the-horizon microwave troposcatter products for integration into four U.S. Military tactical transmission systems. Upon completion of this contract, these four tactical communications Tactical communications are tactical, and therefore a great advantage if you have them and the enemy does not, and communications in which information of any kind, especially orders and decisions, are conveyed from one command, person, or place to another within the tactical terminals will have both line-of-sight microwave and over-the-horizon microwave troposcatter communications capabilities. The U.S. Military has plans to add this over-the-horizon troposcatter communications capability to approximately 150 of its inventoried systems. Comtech Systems will provide troposcatter radios with adaptive digital modems, troposcatter power control and quality monitoring systems and high power amplifiers Power amplifier The final stage in multistage amplifiers, such as audio amplifiers and radio transmitters, designed to deliver appreciable power to the load. for these systems. Comtech Systems was chosen to provide this equipment due to its field-proven, high-data rate 8MBS See Mb/sec. MBS - mobile broadband services digital troposcatter modem, and its state-of-the-art automatic troposcatter transmit power control Transmit Power Control is a technical mechanism used within some networking devices in order to prevent too much unwanted interference between different wireless networks (e.g. the owner's network and the neighbour's network). and quality monitoring system, used to optimize the transmitted power from high power amplifiers working in the over-the-horizon microwave communications environment. Fred Kornberg, President of Comtech Telecommunications Corp., noted "This contract award clearly demonstrates the U.S. Military's recognition of Comtech's advanced adaptive digital modem and radio technology and experience in the over-the-horizon microwave area and is the first significant order we have received for a U.S. government over-the-horizon microwave application."
