FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Fairwinds Technologies has been selected to supply Comtech’s Troposcatter Family of Systems (FOS) to the U.S. Army. The contract was made through the NASA SEWP V catalog.
Comtech’s Troposcatter FOS are highly transportable turnkey tropospheric communications systems, designed to set up quickly and withstand severe conditions to support deployed warfighters. Troposcatter Communications do not rely on satellite capacity and operates in satellite-constrained environments, scattering microwave radio signals off the lower atmosphere to enable beyond-line-of-sight (BLOS) communications with low probability of intercept and detection.
Fairwinds Technologies CEO Jim Sprungle states, “We are proud once again to be supporting the U.S. Army by providing secure and rugged products. Communications are critical to mission success, and we are dedicated to supplying leading-edge solutions that endure any environment and every condition.”
Comtech’s Troposcatter FOS are squarely positioned to support military operations, disaster response situations, emergency communications restoration events, and other government and commercial applications. With software defined technologies embedded at the core, Comtech’s Troposcatter systems can continuously evolve over time to meet emerging government and commercial use cases as well as support future smart-enabled networks across a variety of global markets and geographies.
A small business headquartered in Annapolis, Maryland, Fairwinds has demonstrated solid performance on NASA SEWP V since acquisition of the contract just over 18 months ago. Today’s announcement pushes the company to seventh place in total revenue.
