Operating on the high-throughput low-latency O3b mPOWER system, Comtech\u2019s SLM-5650B will provide critical hybrid communications services to Department of Defense and coalition customers in some of the world\u2019s most challenging geographies. SES\u2019s certification is unlocking new opportunities for the DoD users that require secure and reliable service and increasingly seeking greater communications sovereignty for critical missions.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis certification further demonstrates our satellite communications (SATCOM) technology leadership, as well as the trust one of the world\u2019s largest satellite owners and space solutions providers, SES, continues to place in Comtech,\u201d <\/em>said Daniel Gizinski<\/strong>, President of Comtech\u2019s Satellite and Space Communications Segment<\/strong>. \u201cOver 10,000 Comtech defense-grade modems are currently fielded\u2014providing critical connectivity services to DoD and NATO customers today. As one of the leading U.S. manufacturers of sovereign modem technologies, we are thrilled to partner with SES to deliver new capabilities that will help U.S. DoD and coalition warfighters maintain an information advantage across all domains.\u201d<\/p>\n

Developed and manufactured at the Company\u2019s corporate headquarters in Chandler, AZ, Comtech\u2019s SLM-5650B is a market leading Wideband Global SATCOM (\u201cWGS\u201d) certified modem designed to deliver critical communications services including government and military applications. The software-defined SLM-5650B currently supports multiple critical DoD and NATO waveforms including STANAG 4486 Ed3 (\u201cEBEM\u201d), Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (\u201cDSSS\u201d) and DVB-S2X, with the ability to add more waveforms and functions to meet emerging mission needs.<\/p>\n

Comtech\u2019s portfolio of defense technologies, including the SLM-5650B, are uniquely designed to deliver capabilities that will enhance Combined Joint All Domain Command and Control operations. Comtech\u2019s expansive portfolio of defense technologies is designed to continuously evolve over time to enable digitalized SATCOM ground network infrastructures needed to maintain a strategic advantage in today\u2019s rapidly evolving threat environment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
