MELVILLE, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 1, 2015-- Comtech Telecommunications Corp. (Nasdaq:CMTL) announced today that its Santa Clara, California-based subsidiary, Comtech Xicom Technology Inc., received an order from a domestic integrator for $1.1 million for its new, Super-Power Traveling Wave Tube Amplifiers (TWTAs). These high-tech amplifiers were first introduced at the Satellite 2015 show in March.
“We are extremely pleased that customers are reacting positively to our new Super-Power TWTAs. We believe this order is the first of many we expect to receive,” said Dr. Stanton Sloane, President and Chief Executive Officer of Comtech Telecommunications Corp.
As shown on the Comtech Xicom Technology website, (www.xicomtech.com/index-superpower-twtas.aspx), our new Super-Power TWTAs offer twice the RF power of traditional TWTAs with only a small increase in size and weight, using equivalent prime power. This capability allows users to realize significant reductions in space requirements, power costs, and system complexity, with increased rain-fade margin, over systems using traditional TWTA products, and in particular over traditional systems using Klystron Power Amplifiers.
Comtech Xicom Technology, Inc., a world leader in high-power amplifiers, manufactures a wide variety of tube-based and solid-state power amplifiers for military and commercial satellite uplink applications. The product range encompasses power levels from 8 W to 3 kW, with frequency coverage in sub-bands within the 2 GHz to 45 GHz spectrum. Amplifiers are available for fixed and ground-based, ship-board, and airborne mobile applications. Please visit www.xicomtech.com for more information.
