RADN Radyne Corp (MM)

PHOENIX, Aug. 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Radyne Corporation (NASDAQ:RADN) announced today that it has reached another milestone and industry-first in troposcatter communications by successfully participating in a demonstration verifying the ability of a troposcatter system to achieve 40 Mbps "over-the-horizon" communications using its TM-20 troposcatter modems. The actual over-the-horizon test was performed as part of a series of tests conducted with a military/government organization. This new industry-first troposcatter link doubles our previous milestone of 20 Mbps and dramatically surpasses the maximum data rates of 16 Mbps being utilized today. "The ability to push 40 Mbps over the horizon is a significant achievement in troposcatter communications. These data rates will enable military and commercial customers to easily exchange broadband information and enable applications that were previously unavailable to users of troposcatter systems," said Bob Fitting, Radyne's CEO. The TM-20 represents the first significant advance in over-the-horizon technology in almost three decades. The use of modern signal processing techniques and a patented channel-directed-equalizer provides for link performance and configuration flexibility previously unheard of in Troposcatter systems. The TM-20's compact and power conserving design is ideal for mobile and flyaway installations.
