Gilat Satellite Networks Ltd.
announced today that a Telecommunications Service
Provider (TSP) in Latin America selected Gilat’s
High-Throughput Satellite (HTS) Multi-Spot Beam solution
to provide Ka-band broadband services.
The TSP, which recently acquired five spot beams
totaling 2.3 GHz of capacity, intends to use its new HTS
network to provide high-speed Internet service for
multiple applications such as consumer, enterprise,
mobility and airborne.
According to the terms of the agreement, Gilat will
provide a SkyEdge II-c hub with multiple network
segments, VSAT terminals and related equipment.
Additionally, Gilat will provide cloud-based Network
Operation Center (NOC) management services. Roll-out of
this project commenced earlier this quarter.
“Winning this bid bears testimony to the fact that
our technology supports multiple applications over the
same platform very effectively,” stated Russell Ribeiro,
Gilat's Regional Vice President in Latin America. “We
believe that our strong local presence and support,
combined with our knowledge and experience in network
management, will provide our partner with a strong
competitive advantage over the long term.”
