Radyne Receives $2.3M Order from DataPath 


PHOENIX, Jan. 5  /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Radyne ComStream (Nasdaq: RADN;
Warrants: RADNW) today announced that during December 2004, it received an
order for $2.3 million to supply DataPath, Inc. with its flagship satellite
modem, the DMD20.  DataPath will use the modems in its DKET (Deployable Ku-Band
Earth Terminal) and TRACKX products.

"We are delighted that DataPath chose Radyne to support these important
products," said Bob Fitting, Radyne's CEO.  "The DMD-20 Universal satellite
modem has demonstrated reliability that is essential for these strategic and
mission-critical applications.  The DMD-20 has more features than any other
modem today."

DataPath's DKET and TRACKX terminals are designed to provide worldwide
connectivity via-satellite to expeditionary groups operating in locations that
lack telecommunications infrastructure.  With over 80 satellite earth terminals
deployed worldwide at the service of the U.S. Government and commercial
customers, these successfully field tested designs are ideal for semi-permanent
deployment to remote and/or unmanned field locations.  The DMD20 modem is a
core component of both products.

"Our choice of Radyne products over the last seven years underscores our
confidence in their technology and their ability to support our integrated
products," said Andy Mullins, DataPath's CEO.  "Both the DKET and TRACKX are
DataPath's most visible and successful products providing satellite
telecommunications services to our global customer base."
