January 8, 2010 (FinancialWire) — Comtech Telecommunications Corp. (NASDAQ: CMTL) said that its Maryland-based subsidiary, Comtech Mobile Datacom Corp., successfully completed U.S. Army sponsored field testing of its BFT-HC ground mobile and aviation transceiver and network solution, meeting or exceeding all JCR and BFT-2 specifications.

Comtech’s BFT-HC transceiver and its enhanced network capabilities together represent a significant technological advance including the enabling of faster update rates made possible by the newly released JCR software.

Comtech’s BFT-HC solution is a commercial-off-the-shelf or COTS product; however, its BFT-HC solution specifically addresses the U.S. Army’s warfighters’ challenging mobile environment. Comtech’s BFT-HC solution integrates leading edge antenna, signal processing and waveform technologies while at the same time providing full backward capability with the more than 100,000 first generation Comtech-designed BFT satellite transceivers previously deployed.

Comtech’s BFT-HC aviation system is a viable BFT-2 compliant solution available to the aviation community that meets the BFT-2’s demanding size, weight and power requirements. As a follow-on to this past autumn’s successful rotor blockage tests, Comtech completed full aviation flight tests in December. The BFT-HC aviation solution achieved outstanding performance during all required flight maneuvers and at flight speeds approaching 150 knots. Throughout these tests, Comtech demonstrated full performance over the Inmarsat I4 satellite using the BFT-1 blade antenna. With the transceiver operating at 131 kbps, Comtech’s enhanced Core Network and adaptive multi-user detection ground station achieved unsurpassed performance and reliability, demonstrating packet completion rates exceeding the BFT-2 threshold performance levels. Comtech also successfully demonstrated in-flight data rates of 230 kbps with its advanced antenna.

Comtech Mobile Datacom Corp., a Germantown, Maryland-based company, is engaged in the provision of satellite-based packet data communication systems and location and messaging services through the use of advanced communication and network technology.
