Innovative Solutions for Next-Generation of Resilient Communications for the Warfighter
Secure, resilient, ruggedized communications that reliably support effective Command Control decisions to gain and keep the edge.
Anytime. Anywhere. In Any Domain.
An Experienced Partner You Can Trust
As a US and Allied Governments’ trusted partner for over 30 years, Comtech develops and deploys uncontested Defense Solutions that are custom-built for the all-domain warfighter needs; designed to deliver the most responsive communications, easy-to-use and adaptive for any environment.
Comtech has earned the trust of the DoD and the Intelligence Community by delivering thousands of systems ‘Made-in-America’ with the industry’s most secure supply chain. The secret to our success is forged in our close partnership with government and defense customers implementing real- world solutions on- demand while synchronizing our technology roadmap for future innovations to keep you uncontested.
Global Adversarial Threats Driving Demand for Assured Communications
A modern military must have intelligent satellite communications networks capable of delivering real-time ISR data and high-definition video to warfighters across the battlespace. However, the development of kinetic, electromagnetic, and cyber anti-satellite capabilities has created a focus on communications in a day without space. Comtech is supporting advanced multi-orbit, multi-constellation capabilities that allow for the use of GEO, MEO, HEO, and proliferated LEO constellations to ensure communications in aggressively contested environments. We recognize that layering terrestrial and troposcatter capabilities create additional data paths that in many cases provide complementary capabilities to satellite communications, increasing resilience and flexibility in anti-access/area denial scenarios, with extremely small form factors that make “tactical troposcatter” a reality.
Comtech has new military-grade backbone and portable comms solutions to meet the most demanding defense and government mission requirements anywhere on Earth. These world-class platforms offer the most reliable, scalable, and ruggedized capabilities that enable defense and government users to leverage assured and resilient communications in contested environments.
Comtech’s Software-Defined Solutions
Our Software-Defined Modem Solutions offer extremely compact form-factors, compatible with a variety of platforms, and provide an upgrade path to support your future requirements.
When there is a need to deploy with heightened resiliency, our ruggedized Modems empower mission success with seamless software upgrades that enable satellite networks to be re-configured on the field, in seconds.
Our Multi-Orbit Satellite Gateway Modems serve as a backbone network to provide high-speed trunking services Gateways that support VSAT Networks across hundreds of thousands of sites worldwide.
Furthermore, our game-changing Troposcatter Modem has brought what was thought of as an antiquated technology, back to life perfectly filling the gap between Line of Site (LOS) Terrestrial communications and Beyond Line of Site (BLOS) Satellite Communications.
Helping Armed Forces And Government Agencies Stay A Step Ahead
The government and defense markets are changing quickly, and Comtech is innovating ahead of those changes and demands on the horizon.
The development of flexible software- defined modems that can host multiple waveforms is critical to enabling operators to configure to meet changing electromagnetic spectrum conditions, and a broad range of amplifiers across X, C, Ku, Ka, Q, and V bands provides flexibility to develop adaptable terminals.
The commercial desires align well with where the government and defense markets are headed – driving open architectures and interoperability, which has feathered in nicely with the DoD’s similar focus with Joint All Domain Command and Control (JADC2).
Some of our advanced work in support of high throughput satellite operators in GEO, LEO, and MEO is another strong example of leveraging our commercial ties to keep armed forces a step ahead through multi- orbit connectivity capabilities.
We’ve demonstrated MEO and LEO support on a number of our modem platforms and recently announced updates to our core defense product to support Highly Elliptic Orbit (HEO) satellites.
We deliver state-of-the-art products, systems, and customized communications solutions for customers worldwide using various technologies, including SATCOM, Troposcatter or Over-the-Horizon (OTH), microwave, and HF/VHF/UHF, provide increasing value with high data rate communications solutions. Our efficient and reliable ground equipment portfolio meets the unique demands of government and military customers.
SLM-5650C2 Portable Software-Defined Modem
This Next-Gen portable software- defined modem is designed for the most demanding government and military applications as well as small commercial SatCom terminals.
Featuring extremely compact form factors and an extensive list of software options, the SLM-5650C2 modem can be integrated with a variety of platforms, carried and operated in mobile man packs, and deliver an upgrade path to support future requirements.
Warfighters can configure and reconfigure these modems to roam seamlessly between constellations and orbits, all without the need for manual switching between modems and terminals. That eliminates the need to carry a computer and cables
and navigate web pages and allows the reconfiguration of the satellite asset in real-time with no tools. That allows soldiers to remain focused on the mission instead of the technology.
The SLM-5650 suite of modems supports GEO, HEO, LEO, and MEO links, all-orbit capabilities that will deliver on the government’s demand and mission-critical need for assured communications across all environments.
The SLM-5650 modem can operate a base Satcom modem over legacy waveforms and quickly and easily kick into protective mode when operational situations dictate.
Comtech World’s Fastest 5Gbps Multi-Orbit Gateway Modem
The CDM-780 gateway modem is the latest and most powerful in a long line of backbone platforms, now capable of managing unprecedented amounts of data delivered over new and complex wideband GEO, MEO, and LEO satellites and constellations.
Comtech is a longtime developer and provider of modems and amplifiers to the defense community, and the CDM- 780 is ready to serve as a government backbone network with high-speed trunking services to gateways and VSAT networks with hundreds of thousands of sites.
Featuring five times the bi-directional speed of the nearest offering, the CDM-780 further extends Comtech’s successful portfolio of advanced high-speed trunking and broadcast modems with a level of flexibility capable of delivering 2.5Gbps simplex and 5Gbps duplex data rates over a single solution.

Troposcatter Solutions
Advanced Troposcatter Systems provide high capacity, low-latency data links for over-the-horizon distances without the need to rely on satellites or multiple line-of-sight repeaters. They also provide a level of resistance to intercept or detection that exceeds most line-of-sight microwave and satellite communications.
These systems have little in common with the troposcatter (tropo) equipment developed for long-haul communications from the 1950s to the 1980s, much like computers today bear little resemblance to the computers of that era. The common element is that all troposcatter systems function by using the non-homogenous elements present in the lowest level of the atmosphere— such as water vapor, dust, and atmospheric variations— to scatter a small portion of the transmitted energy forward in a predictable manner.
Our CS67PLUS Software-Defined Modem is the most advanced troposcatter modem on the market and is the heart of Comtech’s Troposcatter Family of Systems with the capability to aggregate that transmitted troposcatter energy into a high-throughput data link.
Not only are we the world leader Beyond Line of Site (BLOS) Technology providing high-capacity, low-latency data links without the need for satellites or repeaters, but we also offer satellite location tracking, field engineering, equipment repair, depot and logistics, and support, cyber training and solid state drives for mission-critical solutions.
