Comtech delivers first DCG-7000 high speed / small form factor modems to Lite Coms for industry testing

Comtech Telecommunications has announced the delivery of its Digital Common Ground (“DCG”)-7000 modems to Lite Coms for testing.

This milestone marks a major advancement for Comtech’s DCG product line and reinforces the Company’s commitment to enabling next-generation secure and interoperable satellite communications (“SATCOM”) for government and commercial customers.

“Delivering DCG-7000 modems for testing demonstrates Comtech’s commitment to driving interoperability and innovation across the SATCOM ecosystem,” said Daniel Gizinski, President of Comtech’s Satellite & Space Communications segment. “Our partnership with Lite Coms is critical to ensuring government and commercial customers can operate seamlessly across commercial and purpose-built networks, including advanced constellations for mission-critical operations.”

Comtech’s DCG-7000 modems are being integrated with Lite Coms’ antenna systems to validate interoperability and performance across diverse ground terminal configurations.

Lite Coms also recently became the first company to successfully test a DCG-7000 modem from Comtech’s production line, underscoring the collaborative innovation behind the modem and its inherent interoperability and ease of use.

“At Lite Coms, your mission is our motivation, and that drive is exactly why we prioritized being the first to integrate and successfully test Comtech’s DCG-7000 modem,” said Bob Jacobson, President and CEO of Lite Coms LLC. “By pairing this high-speed, software-defined architecture with our agile antenna systems, we are delivering the resilient, multi-orbit connectivity that gives our customers a clear advantage at the tactical edge.”

Built on Comtech’s U.S. sovereign-designed DCG portfolio, the DCG-7000 modem provides advanced flexibility and performance through a software-defined architecture that supports rapid reconfiguration to meet evolving customer requirements. The DCG portfolio is designed to enable digitized hybrid satellite network architectures bringing forward a new era of secure, resilient and ubiquitous connectivity across all environments.

Customer Value and Operational Benefits of DCG-7000:

• Multi-Orbit Capability and Interoperability: Seamless access to commercial and purpose-built networks aligned with digital transformation and modernization initiatives

• Performance: Superior speed and performance in an exceptionally small size weight and power (“SWaP”) form factor

• Waveform Flexibility: Supports DVB-S2X, and other protected waveforms with the ability to add new capabilities, such as DSSS, via software updates

• Security: Incorporates modern cybersecurity design principles including integrated Transmission Security (“TRANSEC”) for over-the-air transmission
