The MoD has selected the CDM-625A Advanced Satellite Modem following a request for proposal (RFP) process, and a technical evaluation and testing.
Under the initial order worth $1.1m, the company will deliver several SCPC modems and complementary redundancy switches.
The equipment is part of the MoD’s extensive network upgrade and expansion. The number of units can increase to more than 2,000.
Comtech Telecommunications Board chairman and CEO Fred Kornberg said: “We are pleased that this MoD has confidence in Comtech to continue supplying equipment to support a network upgrade that enables mission-critical and inter-office communications, high-speed video conferencing and VoIP with a potential ten-fold expansion.
