Comtech Telecommunications Corp awarded multi-million dollar contract for WAN optimization equipment


Comtech Telecommunications Corp., a world leader in next-generation 911 emergency systems and secure wireless communications technologies, announced today, that during its fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, its subsidiary Comtech EF Data Corp., a leading provider of satellite communications equipment (together Comtech), was awarded a multi-million dollar order for WAN optimization equipment from a leading system integrator in South Asia. The equipment will be utilized by a Ministry of Defense (MoD) in the region.


The order is for the supply of FX-6020c and FX-5020c advanced network accelerators, using patented TurbostreamingĀ© technology.

ā€œWe are honored to contribute to the modernization of this MoD’s communication network with cutting edge technology,ā€ said Fred Kornberg, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Comtech Telecommunications Corp. ā€œOur WAN optimization products will replace an incumbent’s technology, which is a testament to our ability to deliver high performance, innovative and competitive solutions.ā€
