The ZTE order from China Unicom will be for approximately one million CDMA units. Comtech's dollar content per phone approximately $1.20 per unit, with the total order scheduled for delivery during the next six months. This represents an initial order and if the handset is well received follow on orders are possible.

Comtech is providing a storage module solution for this product as well, and management anticipates 60,000 to 100,000 units delivered during the Company's fourth fiscal quarter.
