[Via Satellite 02-14-2014] Comtech Telecommunications has announced that its subsidiary Comtech Xicom Technology has been awarded a $1.4 million contract to supply a major system integrator with rack-mount, high-power amplifiers (HPAs). These HPAs will be used in an expansion of a system to relay military satellite communications around the world.

These HPAs are designed for high-performance satcom uplink applications by providing high levels of RF power and feature an LCD touch screen display control panel designed to configure and monitor the HPAs performance.

“We are happy that our government customers continue to come to Comtech Xicom Technology when they need sophisticated, high-power amplifier technology. Our U.S.-based factories produce high performance systems that are well-suited for the demanding military market,” said Fred Kornberg, president and CEO of Comtech Telecommunications.
