Comtech Telecommunications Corp. Receives $1.4 Million Movement Tracking System Order for RFID Upgrade

MELVILLE, N.Y., March 30, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Comtech
Telecommunications Corp. (Nasdaq:CMTL) announced today that its
Maryland-based subsidiary, Comtech Mobile Datacom Corporation, received
an order totaling $1.4 million under its Movement Tracking System, or
MTS contract, with the U.S. Army. Total orders received to date against
the $605.1 million MTS contract increased to $595.2 million.

The order is Phase II of ongoing efforts to complete migration of all
RFID processes to the new international standard ISO/IEC 18000-7.
Whereas Phase I migration efforts involved modifications to the
transceiver's firmware to enable it to read RFID tags operating under
the ISO 18000-7 standard, Phase II encompasses modifications to the MTS
platform application program, network, and other interfaces. Upon
completion of the migration, the MTS mobile RFID capability will extend
to all active RFID tags built to comply with the international
standard.

Fred Kornberg, President and Chief Executive Officer of Comtech
Telecommunications Corp., said, "We are pleased to have received this
order to upgrade the MTS Program's mobile RFID capability. The U.S.
Army logisticians face a steep challenge associated with tracking
critical equipment as our forces continually shift to and from Iraq and
Afghanistan, and other locations. This new RFID capability will enable
the Army to more broadly identify and track assets. We look forward to
working with the program office in testing and fielding this milestone
enhancement."
