"The company has delivered impressive financial results in 2018. We have significantly increased our sales and profits, generated incremental business from new product development, and added a significant number of new resellers to our worldwide distribution network, all of which contributed to our fiscal success in 2018," said Leslie Klein, President & CEO of C-COM.

"The development of our new line of cost-effective, highly portable, carbon fibre Manpack (backpack) antennas is now production ready. A total of 3 different antenna sizes with swappable multiple frequency band options are available and can be ordered in manual or fully automatic versions," Klein continued.

We expect this new line of Manpack antennas to be deployed in verticals like military, disaster management, emergency response, and other markets requiring a light, easily transportable antenna that can be assembled in minutes by one person without any tools." Klein continued.

C-COM is involved in a research and development project with a leading Canadian university to develop the next generation low profile electronically steerable phased array antenna technology. "The project is reaching an important milestone. In the next few months a prototype consisting of 1000 element sub-array panels will be tested for transmission and reception in Ka band," said Leslie Klein, President and CEO of C-COM. These are the largest panels to have been built based on previously proven scalable building blocks of 4x4 transmit / receive modules. "We are looking forward to demonstrate the capability of two-way communications over multiple satellite constellations," Klein continued.

The Company has maintained its quarterly dividend payout while continuing to innovate and invest into the next generation of advanced antenna products.
