Gilat Satellite Networks Ltd. announced on Monday that its U.S. subsidiary, Spacenet Inc., has been chosen by Fazoli's Management, Inc. to provide a Connexstar broadband satellite network to Fazoli's restaurants in 33 states nationwide.

Under the terms of the three-year agreement, Spacenet will deploy its Connexstar service at 150 Fazoli's corporate restaurant sites. The network will support a range of retail networking applications, including point-of-sale polling, fast credit authorization, Xcellenet remote systems management tools and corporate intranet applications.

Floyd Goldberg, Fazoli's vice president, information technology, said, "We are moving quickly to adopt a variety of IP-based applications to further optimize our in-store operating efficiency and customer service. We chose Spacenet's Connexstar service because it provides us with an extremely reliable, always-on network connection that is available immediately at any of our locations around the country."

Goldberg added, "A high-speed, persistent connection is critical to the deployment of our new Internet-based in-store technology -- especially our IP credit card terminals. Connexstar's superior support for these IP applications made it a clear choice for this project."

Spacenet President and CEO Bill Gerety said, "As restaurants increasingly move their core management applications to the Web, the need for cost-effective, always-on broadband connectivity grows rapidly. Fazoli's joins an expanding list of restaurant enterprises that have chosen Connexstar as their primary provider for nationwide high-speed Internet connectivity."
