Comtech Telecommunications Corp. delivered its first Digital Common Ground (DCG)‑7000 high‑speed, small‑form‑factor modems to Lite Coms for industry testing, marking a key milestone in the company’s satellite‑communications portfolio.

The DCG‑7000 is engineered to provide secure, interoperable satellite links for both government and commercial customers. Integrated with Lite Coms’ antenna systems, the modem will validate performance across a range of ground‑terminal configurations, demonstrating its versatility in real‑world environments.

Lite Coms, a woman‑owned small business with a significant Marine Corps contract, became the first company to successfully test a DCG‑7000 modem from Comtech’s production line. The company praised the modem’s ease of use and rapid reconfiguration for mission‑critical operations, underscoring its suitability for defense applications.

Comtech’s DCG portfolio, built on U.S. sovereign‑designed technology, supports digitized hybrid satellite network architectures. The company is accepting orders for the DCG line, indicating confidence that the new modem will accelerate commercial adoption and strengthen its competitive position in the secure‑satellite market.

Management emphasized the strategic importance of the partnership. Daniel Gizinski, President of Comtech’s Satellite & Space Communications segment, said the delivery demonstrates Comtech’s commitment to interoperability and innovation across the SATCOM ecosystem, while Bob Jacobson, President and CEO of Lite Coms, highlighted the modem’s role in delivering resilient, multi‑orbit connectivity for tactical customers.

The delivery aligns with Comtech’s broader transformation, which has focused on improving financial health, operational efficiency, and a higher‑margin product mix. By partnering with Lite Coms, Comtech is validating a key component of its strategy to deliver secure, resilient connectivity for defense and commercial markets.
