Gilat to Showcase Solutions for Rural Broadband Via Satellite at AfricaCom, 2015
10 November 2015 - 11:15PM
Gilat Satellite Networks Ltd. (NASDAQ:GILT) (TASE:GILT), a
worldwide leader in satellite networking technology, solutions and
services, announced today that it intends to showcase solutions for
Rural Broadband via Satellite at AfricaCom 2015, Cape Town
Convention Centre, November 17-19, 2015 – Booth D1.
It will also highlight its new X-Architecture,
optimized for High-Throughput Satellites (HTS), which enables
satellite operators to dynamically support mobility, enterprise,
cellular and consumer broadband markets – and different business
models – all from a single platform.
“Africa offers a great potential for growth, as
satellite communication connects previously isolated communities in
the region more efficiently and cost-effectively than before.
Gilat is well-placed to drive rural broadband solutions in Africa,
and become the best partner to the new HTS providers who plan to
deploy their services across the continent”, said Dov Baharav,
Gilat’s Interim CEO and Chairman of the Board.
He continued: “Thanks to Gilat’s extensive
experience in remote and rural parts of Latin America and Asia, we
have seen how beneficial the delivery of broadband internet via
satellite can be to the people in those areas. So we know that its
impact on the lives of people in remote African locations will be
similarly positive. Our revolutionary X-Architecture and SkyEdge
II-c family of products, coupled with our NOC operation and overall
services, will support a new HTS infrastructure era in Africa.”
At the event, Gilat will also display its
satellite-based solutions for expanding and upgrading cellular
networks:
- Capricorn, the fastest VSAT on the market, which provides
cellular backhaul capabilities of up to 200 Mbps, maximizing
handset performance on 3G/LTE networks
- CellEdge, Gilat’s integrated small-cell over-satellite
solution, which enables full turnkey deployment of 2G/3G networks
in even the most remote regions
- Libra, Gilat’s hybrid satellite-cellular solution, which
leverages cellular infrastructure to provide cost-effective rural
connectivity
