Comtech Telecommunications Corp. (NASDAQ: CMTL) recently completed initial deliveries of the their next generation Very Small Aperture Terminal (VSAT) systems to a strategically significant allied Navy partner in the Asia Pacific (APAC) region
The initial deliveries of Comtech’s VSAT systems mark an important milestone for a comprehensive Navy fleet modernization program. To support the program, Comtech’s next generation VSAT systems are being installed on a wide range of Naval platforms including ships, submarines, and ground-based stations to provide access to advanced multi-orbit SATCOM capabilities across air, land, and sea domains.
Following months of rigorous testing and performance validation by the end customer, Comtech’s next generation VSAT systems were selected for full-rate production with deliveries continuing over a two-year period.
The next generation VSAT systems delivered to the APAC Navy partner are based on Comtech’s ELEVATE software-defined, multi-orbit VSAT technology. These systems include powerful IP traffic optimization technologies to mitigate delays inherent to SATCOM, mesh capabilities to allow shorter transmission latency with less bandwidth consumption, and spread spectrum techniques to reduce interference generated when transmitting from small antennas.
With nearly 60 years of experience designing and developing some of the most trusted VSAT systems in the industry, we remain committed to supporting our partner’s urgent operational requirements,” said Daniel Gizinski, President of Comtech’s Satellite & Space Communications Segment. “This important milestone builds on the trust we have established with a key military ally in the APAC region and further illustrates Comtech’s global leadership in next generation VSAT systems.”
