Comtech Telecommunications Corp. (NASDAQ: CMTL) has announced that during the company’s first quarter of fiscal 2021, their Tempe, Arizona-based subsidiary, Comtech EF Data Corp., which is part of Comtech’s Commercial Solutions segment, received a $1.5 million order for Single Channel Per Carrier (“SCPC”) satellite modems from a Tier 1 defense contractor.
The satellite modems will be used by a defense entity to upgrade and expand their existing network that included the prior generation of long-performing, CDM-625 Satellite Modems by Comtech EF Data.
