Comtech Telecommunications Corp. announced that its Melville, New York-based subsidiary, Comtech PST Corp., has received $2.5 M of orders for high power amplifiers from a provider of aviation electronics and communication systems.

These amplifiers are utilized as part of satellite communications systems that provide commercial mobile airborne-to-satellite-to-ground communications service. The systems provide operators with the ability to access Inmarsat's Aero-H, Aero-I and SwiftBroadband service for aeronautical satellite communications with multi-channel voice, fax and data capabilities. These orders supplement a significant installed base of Comtech high power amplifiers previously delivered to this customer.

Fred Kornberg, president and chief executive officer of Comtech Telecommunications Corp., said, "These orders are ongoing evidence of the strong demand for our commercial aircraft amplifier products. We are proud of our long-standing relationship with this premier supplier of aviation satellite communications systems."
