Vietnam Telecom International Picks Gilat's SkyEdge II for Broadband Satellite Network
Gilat Satellite Networks’ SkyEdge II broadband satellite communications network is a standards-based system using DVB-S2 and DVB-RCS. Gilat’s diverse portfolio of SkyEdge II VSATs are all supported by a unified platform, offering service providers the most suitable product for their application needs as well as the flexibility to evolve their networks, the company said.
Earlier in January the company announced it received SatLabs Group Certificate of Compliance for its SkyEdge II DVB-RCS VSAT systems. Gilat happened to be the first product and service provider to receive the current 1.3 certification.
The satellite-based communication network product and services provider is now offering SkyEdge II broadband satellite communications network to Vietnam Telecom International or “VTI,” a subsidiary of VNPT, Vietnam’s national telecommunications service provider.
Company officials said new SkyEdge II system will operate via VINASAT-1, the first Vietnamese communications satellite, and will combine both C-band and Ku-band capacity within the same network using the SkyEdge II multi-transponder capability.
The VSAT network, with hundreds of remote sites, will support a wide range of applications, including broadband Internet access, Global System for Mobile Communications or “GSM” trunking and private leased circuits.
The SkyEdge II is the most suitable communications system for new VSAT services. By incorporating Gilat’s VSAT platform, there are possibility to deliver a diverse range of services to end-users in every corner of the country.
