MELVILLE, N.Y., Nov. 30, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Comtech Telecommunications Corp. (Nasdaq:CMTL) announced today that its Tempe, Arizona-based subsidiary, Comtech EF Data Corp., received a $1.1 million order for satellite transceivers and amplifiers from a telecommunications provider in Latin America.
