Petah Tikva - Nov 18, 2002
Gilat Satellite Networks Ltd. has been selected by its long-time customer Telkom SA Limited to provide a Skystar 360E satellite hub station and thousands of VSAT terminals, establishing Gilat's satellite-based technology as Telkom's broadband VSAT offering.

The agreement spans a five year period, with an incremental deployment of VSAT terminals reaching a cumulative amount of more than 26,000 units by the fifth year, making it when completed, one of the largest VSAT networks in the world.

The network is to offer integrated Ku and C Band broadband IP applications for corporate, SOHO and SMEs, throughout Sub Saharan Africa.

Yoel Gat, Gilat's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, "We find it gratifying to know that our technology is used to bring the power of high-speed interactive data applications - such as Internet access - to corporate users, SOHOs, small businesses (SME) and power users throughout South and Sub-Saharan Africa.

"This milestone agreement, with Africa's largest telecommunications operator and one of the world's major telecom players, continues to demonstrate the confidence in Gilat in general and in the company's technology in particular."
