Comtech Xicom Awarded Contract for HPAs for DTH Service
Santa Clara, Calif., December 19, 2014--Comtech Xicom Technology has been awarded a contract for $1.1 million from a major system integrator to supply outdoor mounted, high-power amplifiers (HPAs).
The HPAs will be used in Latin America at a new earth station being built to provide direct-to-home television services. The Comtech Xicom HPAs were selected due to their high output power and overall efficiency, offering high performance at a lower operating cost than other approaches.
“Customers are transitioning to high efficiency outdoor traveling wave tube amplifiers. They enable more bang for the buck than traditional indoor systems,” said Fred Kornberg, President and Chief Executive Officer of Comtech Telecommunications Corp. “We are pleased to be selected, once again, by a direct-to-home operator and see growing opportunities in Latin America.”
Comtech Xicom Technology, Inc., a world leader in high-power amplifiers, manufactures a wide variety of tube-based and solid-state power amplifiers for military and commercial satellite uplink applications. The product range encompasses power levels from 8 W to 3 kW, with frequency coverage in sub-bands within the 2 GHz to 45 GHz spectrum.
