The Comtech Mobile Datacom Corporation has received orders totaling $12.6 million for its movement tracking system, from the U.S. Army. This includes $3.3 million of MTS program orders and a $9.3 million initial order for the Army National Guard's acquisition of MTS equipment and services.
Comtech will supply model MT-2012 mobile satellite transceivers that feature embedded radio frequency identification (RFID) and secure global positioning system (GPS) capabilities. The transceiver features Savi Technology's ISO-compliant EchoPoint RFID reader, which Savi has also deployed in the U.S. Department of Defense in-transit visibility (ITV) network.
This National Guard order will place this satellite tracking and communication system in the hands of the National Guard's first responders. This communications capability will enable the Guard to better prepare for and react to disaster and recovery operations at the local, state and national levels. The initial units will be fielded in hurricane-prone states.
Comtech Mobile Datacom Corporation is based in Germantown, Maryland and is engaged in the provisioning of satellite-based packet data communication systems and location and messaging services.
