Gilat Introduces An Integrated Satellite Solution For GSM Operators Gilat Satellite Networks announced Tuesday that it has added to its family of SkyEdge products, the Sky-Abis, a satellite solution tailored towards the GSM market. Sky-Abis allows mobile operators to expand their network coverage by providing cellular connectivity to customers located in remote communities while significantly reducing operating costs for existing or new deployments. Gilat Vice President of Marketing and Business Development Tal Meirzon said, "The rapid growth in demand for GSM services is motivating mobile operators to extend their services to remote communities with widely dispersed populations, allowing for market expansion and increased traffic volume." "Gilat, with its experience and leadership in providing satellite communication solutions to rural communities, is able to support cellular operators in their efforts to provide immediate and cost effective connectivity to its users in these areas." Meirzon added, "Gilat's satellite backhaul solution is much more efficient than standard satellite backhauls. Sky-Abis satellite space segment utilization is extremely efficient and reduces GSM operators' operational costs by up to 80%." "This solution was specifically designed for a large number of small cellular base stations supporting a wide range of cellular technology vendors." Main Benefits for GSM Operators - Very low GSM backhaul operational expenses (DAMA operation) - Connectivity to remote areas - Quick roll out - Central management system with full real time control - Scalability - Provision of a turn-key solution including: installation and support in operation of the satellite backhaul network; training and program management during the roll-out Related Links Gilat Satellite Networks SpaceDaily Search SpaceDaily Subscribe To SpaceDaily Express Hughes Wins Additional Contracts From GTECH For Broadband Satellite Solution Germantown MD (SPX) Nov 16, 2004 Hughes Network Systems Monday announced it has won two new contracts valued at over $4 million from GTECH Corporation.
