Comtech EF Data Receives $1.9 Million Order from Major Mobile Network Operator in China
Tempe, Ariz., August 16, 2018--Comtech Telecommunications Corp. (Nasdaq: CMTL) announced today that during its fourth quarter of fiscal 2018, its Tempe, Arizona-based subsidiary, Comtech EF Data Corp., which is part of Comtech's Commercial Solutions segment, won a tender by a major Mobile Network Operator (MNO) in China to replace the older generation of lower efficiency modems to provide more reliable services at a much lower OPEX.
This latest order for US$ 1.9 million, specified Comtech EF Data’s CDM-625A Advanced Satellite Modems, Up & Down Frequency Converters and the CX-U Series RAN Optimization by its subsidiary, Memotec. The purchase highlights the customer’s long-standing confidence in the Comtech mobile backhaul solution.

Some of the leveraged features include industry best VersaFEC-2® Forward Error Correction, the revolutionary DoubleTalk®Carrier-in-Carrier® bandwidth compression, lower rolloffs, and 2G TDM optimization.
