Gilat Selected by JSC NURSAT to Deploy Broadband Satellite Communications Solution
Gilat Satellite Networks Ltd. (Nasdaq:GILT), a worldwide leader in satellite networking technology, solutions and services, announced it was selected by JSC NURSAT, one of Kazakhstan’s national satellite service providers, to deploy a broadband satellite IP network based on Gilat’s advanced Sky Edge II System.
The SkyEdge II VSAT network will provide JSC NURSAT with an end-to-end solution for IP-connectivity and enable broadband communication services designed for advanced corporate users. The network is designed to link several regional centers in a multi-star topology to the two geographically redundant SkyEdge II hubs located in Almaty and Astana, and includes Gilat’s NetEdge™ gateway solution which makes it possible to connect remote sites to regional centers with more efficient connectivity than mesh or SCPC solutions.
“Gilat’s advanced platform will allow us to expand our network reach and capacity in an effort to meet the rising demand in corporate broadband connectivity services,” said Kenes Shangereyev, General Manager, JSC NURSAT. “The platform’s unique configuration, and ability to offer a cost effective means to manage satellite bandwidth, will enable us to offer a robust broadband network to our corporate customers, coupled with the highest quality service delivery.”
“We are proud to be selected by JSC NURSAT for this important project, as it enables us to continue our support of Kazakhstan’s growing demand for a broad and efficient satellite-based IP infrastructure,” said Arie Rozichner, Gilat’s Regional Vice President of Eurasia. “It is exciting to have our expertise in deploying such networks receive once again the industry’s vote of confidence.”
