Description: CMTL Comtech Telecommunications December 25, 2025

Comtech Telecommunications Corp. (NASDAQ:CMTL) delivers critical communications hardware and services through two main divisions: Satellite & Space Communications and Allerium. The Satellite & Space segment builds and integrates ground-segment equipment-such as traveling-wave-tube amplifiers, VSAT platforms, and troposcatter radios-that support voice, video, and data traffic across GEO, MEO, and LEO constellations, while also offering cybersecurity training and supply-chain sourcing for aerospace parts.

The Allerium segment focuses on public-safety and emergency-services solutions, including 911 call routing, location validation, policy-based routing, and wireless emergency alert systems for government, commercial, and telecom customers.

Key market drivers for Comtech include the accelerating deployment of LEO satellite constellations (e.g., Starlink, OneWeb) that boost demand for ground-segment infrastructure, and rising federal defense budgets that sustain long-term contracts for secure communications equipment. In FY 2023 the company reported $1.1 billion in revenue, with the Satellite & Space segment contributing roughly 70% of sales and a year-over-year growth rate of 5%-above the 3% average growth in the broader communications-equipment sector.

Comtech’s backlog of long-term government contracts was estimated at $300 million as of Q3 2024, providing a visible revenue runway that helps mitigate short-term demand volatility.
