MELVILLE, N.Y., Nov 5, 2009 (GlobeNewswire via COMTEX) -- CMTL | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Comtech Telecommunications Corp. (Nasdaq:CMTL) announced today that its Tempe, Arizona-based subsidiary, Comtech EF Data Corp., won a $1.6 million order for satellite communications equipment. An Asian mobile operator will utilize the equipment to support satellite-based cellular backhaul service expansion.

The order specifies Comtech EF Data's CDM-600 Satellite Modems and redundancy switches, plus the CX-U Series cellular backhaul platform from its subsidiary, Memotec, Inc.
