MELVILLE, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- January 29, 2014--Comtech Telecommunications Corp. (NASDAQ:CMTL) announced today that its Tempe, Arizona-based subsidiary, Comtech EF Data Corp., was awarded a $3.1 million order from a government systems integrator for DoubleTalk® Carrier-in-Carrier® powered DMD2050E Satellite Modems. The equipment will be deployed to support the U.S. government's integrated satellite terminal communications.

The DMD2050E Satellite Modems ordered will utilize the revolutionary and award-winning DoubleTalk® Carrier-in-Carrier® bandwidth compression. DoubleTalk® Carrier-in-Carrier® is based on Raytheon Applied Signal Technology's patented "Adaptive Cancellation" technology, which allows transmit and receive carriers of a duplex link to share the same transponder space.
