HTS system
May 11, 2021-- Comtech Telecommunications Corp. (NASDAQ: CMTL),
a world leader in secure wireless communications technologies,
announced today, that during its third quarter of fiscal 2021, its
Santa Clara, California-based subsidiary, Comtech Xicom Technology,
Inc., a world leader in high-power amplifiers, was awarded a $2.0
million order for state-of-the-art 500W Ka-band high power
amplifiers supporting a leading high throughput satellite (“HTS”)
customer.
The HTS market provides broadband internet service to geographic
regions that are under-served by terrestrial networks. HTS systems
are very high capacity, offering bandwidth and pricing competitive
with more conventional terrestrial offerings, regardless of the
customers’ location. These systems serve consumer, small business,
enterprise and government customers.

in today’s world. People who live and work in rural areas have the
same needs as urban users for a high-quality on-line experience.
HTS networks are an ideal way for rural customers to stay
connected,” said Fred Kornberg, Chairman of the Board and Chief
Executive Officer of Comtech Telecommunications Corp. “Comtech’s
500W amplifiers are at the heart of HTS gateway earth stations. We
have been supplying the HTS community with 500W Ka-band amplifiers
since 2009, and they feature high linear power, superior phase
noise, and offer great reliability.”
