Comtech EDIM to Become One of the Primary
Solutions Used for U.S. Military SATCOM
October 3, 2023-- Comtech (NASDAQ: CMTL) announced today the
company was recently awarded a $48.6 million contract to deliver
Enterprise Digital Intermediate Frequency Multi-Carrier (EDIM)
modems in support of U.S. Army satellite communications (SATCOM)
digitization and modernization programs.
Under the contract, Comtech will design, develop, test, and
deliver EDIM units and provide hardware, software, and sustainment
services to support performance enhancements for EDIM solutions.
Comtech’s EDIM modems are designed to support multiple satellite

software-defined platform.
“Our EDIM SATCOM modems are designed to enable the Department of
Defense (DoD) to move to digitized, hybrid satellite network
architectures—enabling warfighters to easily roam across orbital
regimes and blend capabilities from traditionally disparate
networks to maintain an information advantage in the world’s most
challenging geographies,” said Ken Peterman, President and CEO,
Comtech. “This strategic contract award further illustrates the
trust of our DoD customers and Comtech’s ability to deliver
innovative software-defined solutions that meet the mission demands
of today and can easily adapt to meet the operational needs of the
future. Our EDIM modems are designed to continuously evolve over
time with the ability to introduce performance enhancements and new
blended services that can reduce operator burden and significantly
enhance all-domain mission effectiveness.”
Built on open architecture standards, Comtech’s EDIM solutions
are designed to be easily integrated with other terrestrial and
non-terrestrial communications systems to enabled unified hybrid
network infrastructures that will bring forward a new era of
blended, smart-enabled connectivity.
Comtech’s portfolio of defense technologies and services,
including those provided under this contract, are uniquely designed
to align with Space Force Enterprise SATCOM vision and deliver
capabilities that will enhance Combined Joint All Domain Command
and Control operations. Comtech’s expansive portfolio of defense
and security technologies is designed to continuously evolve over
time to enable digitalized SATCOM ground network infrastructures;
introduce 5G, 5G advanced and 6G capabilities; and integrate
Comtech’s proven Dynamic Cloud Platform services across blended
terrestrial, non-terrestrial, military and commercial networks to
significantly enhance mission effectiveness in future all-domain
operations.
