March 10, 2021-- Comtech Telecommunications Corp. (NASDAQ:
CMTL), a world leader in secure and highly reliable communication
technologies, announced today, that during its second quarter of
fiscal 2021, its Safety & Security Technologies group, which is
part of Comtech’s Commercial Solutions segment, was awarded $3.1
million of additional funding on a previously announced statewide
contract to design, deploy, and operate Next Generation 911
(“NG911”) services for the State of South Carolina. With these
incremental orders, the contract which is valued at up to $54.0
million has now been funded $20.0 million to date.
The original contract award, which was won during the fourth
quarter of fiscal 2020, is for implementation of Comtech’s NG911
services that will provide citizens with advanced communication
capabilities when calling for emergency services, including police,
fire and emergency medical services. These incremental orders,
through use of Comtech’s Next Generation Core Services (“NGCS”),
will enable the State of South Carolina to offer a seamless,
coordinated and efficient NG911 system to this initial group of the
state’s local 911 centers. In addition, a portion of this new
funding represents certain of these centers purchasing
state-of-the-art Solacom NG911 call handling solutions.
“These orders reinforce our partnership in providing the highest
performance and reliability standards to support South Carolina
with mission-critical emergency services and equipment,” said Fred
Kornberg, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of
Comtech Telecommunications Corp.
Comtech’s highly reliable technologies enable the successful
