10 Firms Buck Market Bloodbath on Monday

4. Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ:KTOS)

Kratos Defense rose by 6.93 percent on Monday to end at $29.18 apiece as investors took heart from news that its OpenEdge 2500 integration-ready digitizer has achieved official Digital IF Interoperability (DIFI) compliance.

The DIFI Digital IF/RF Standard is intended to accelerate industry transformation beyond stove-piped, hardware-based systems and into digital software-defined networks.

The adoption of the standard provides network operators with the ability to choose the best of breed products with standards-based digitization.

KTOS’s OpenEdge 2500 helps satellite antenna makers digitally enable their products by converting radio frequency (RF) signals into Internet protocol (IP) data streams. The DIFI compliant digital signal is easily incorporated for use into modern software-defined communications networks. The digitizer can be embedded within any antenna, terminal, or Universal Customer Premise Equipment (uCPE).
