MELVILLE, N.Y., Oct 14, 2003 (BUSINESS WIRE) --
Comtech
Telecommunications Corp. (Nasdaq: CMTL) announced today that its
Tempe, Arizona-based subsidiary, Comtech EF Data Corp., has received a
$1.0 million follow-on order from a major cellular operator in
Southeast Asia. The present project consists of 18 sites with more
sites planned in the coming months.
The order includes Comtech EF Data's signature CDM-600 modems with
Turbo Product Code (TPC) forward error correction capable of operating
at up to 20 Mbps data rates, along with redundant C-Band CSAT 50 Watt

GSM cellular coverage areas together with a satellite data link.

while minimizing total satellite bandwidth, thus saving considerable
transponder costs and at the same time enabling the operator to put
more carriers on the transponders.
