04 February 2014 - 11:13PM
Gilat Satellite Networks Ltd. (Nasdaq:GILT), a worldwide leader in
satellite networking technology, solutions and services, announced
today the availability of CellEdge, an integrated small cell over
satellite solution designed specifically for unserved rural areas.
Gilat has leveraged its extensive expertise in rural cellular
backhaul to provide an affordable, end-to-end solution. CellEdge
provides:
- Ability to deliver cost-effective 2G and 3G cellular services
to unserved areas;
- 80W total average power draw including both the small cell and
VSAT in a typical configuration, significantly lowering capital
expenditures in the terminal and solar power generation;
- Optimization of satellite bandwidth via high efficiency
algorithms and a set of efficient voice/data compression techniques
that can reduce satellite OPEX by up to 80%.
"In the past, mobile operators have been faced with prohibitive
expense levels for providing cellular connectivity to unserved
rural areas with a population of as few as several thousand
people," said Erez Antebi, CEO of Gilat Satellite Networks. "Now
with CellEdge, operators have a unique solution which can
significantly reduce capital and operating expenditures, enabling
them to provide cost-effective services to even the most outlying
rural areas."
