The networking equipment manufacturer said it received a $1.1 million contract to provide troposcatter equipment and services to an unnamed military unit in eastern Europe. The new contract includes upgrading the customer’s existing transportable troposcatter terminals and extending the upgrade across the remaining fleet terminals as well as boosting the reliability of the troposcatter system and reducing maintenance needs.
(-) Voxeljet (VJET) was down 1% late Monday afternoon after the 3-D printer-maker said the New York Stock Exchange has accepted its plan to regain compliance with NYSE rules requiring listed companies to maintain at least $50 million in shareholders equity.
