Gilat SkyEdge II VSAT Receives Latest DVB-RCS Compliance Certification
Gilat Satellite Networks, Ltd. (NASDAQ: GILT | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating) said that its SkyEdge II DVB-RCS VSAT has received the SatLabs Group certificate of Compliance. Gilat is the first vendor to receive the latest version 1.3 certification, which comprises an enhanced feature set, including DVB-S2 at the forward channel, as well as advanced Quality of Service for interactive prioritization of voice, video and data.
The new certification further endorses Gilat’s SkyEdge II high-performance VSAT technology, confirming its fulfillment of the DVB-RCS standard and opening the option to interoperate with other DVB-RCS based satellite equipment. Digital Video Broadcast Return Channel via Satellite (DVB-RCS) is an open ETSI standard for two way communication defining an optimized return channel supported by multiple VSATs and hub system suppliers.
Gilat was one of the first vendors to successfully receive the DVB-RCS compliance certification for its satellite communications platform, SkyEdge, in October 2005 from the SatLabs group. Since then, Gilat’s VSATs have been widely deployed using the DVB-RCS standard.
