The Ukrainian National Lottery operates a constantly growing network of some 2,400 lottery kiosks across the country. Hundreds of these existing sites, that have been connected by terrestrial communications, are now being transferred to satellite technology.

"We are pleased to be working with Gilat after having received strong recommendations from customers who have been working with Gilat technology for many years," said Alex Kozulin, the Ukrainian National Lottery's General Director.

"We chose to move towards a satellite-based VSAT solution for many of our sites, as it is a more cost effective solution, quicker to deploy and more secure, especially for remote locations."

Arie Rozichner, Gilat's Associate VP, Sales for CIS, said "Gilat is pleased to provide its VSAT equipment to UNL, a very important customer in the Ukraine. There is considerable potential for this network to grow and we will be there to support the UNL through the latest innovations in VSAT technology and timely, professional services as it continues to expand."

Rozichner added, "The lottery and gaming market holds a very large potential for Gilat around the world and in this part of the world especially. Just last year we deployed an important network for the gaming company Jackpot and management company Stec.com, supporting on-line gaming sites throughout the Russian Federation."

Gilat and its subsidiaries have deployed more than 25,000 VSAT terminals for lottery applications worldwide.

As the lottery industry has increasingly moved its point-of-sale technology to IP-based networks, Gilat has been able to further solidify its position within the industry by providing ubiquitous, low-cost, secure access to the Internet for a wide range of state and national lotteries around the globe.
