...South East Asia to provide a SkyEdge II network for GSM and 3G cellular backhaul. The new SkyEdge II network will replace an existing SkyEdge network currently supporting the MNO's 2G infrastructure, and will provide improved bandwidth efficiency and higher throughputs to the operator's 2G and 3G networks.
Gilat's SkyEdge II cellular backhaul solution offers customized features designed to maximize bandwidth efficiency while enabling enhanced voice quality and high-speed data throughput. The solution's ability to efficiently support bandwidth intensive data services is of growing importance, especially as more 3G networks are being deployed worldwide. The solution incorporates Gilat's SkyEdge II BWO-II (Bandwidth Optimizer) solution. This capacity saving feature implements outbound carrier cancellation enabling outbound and inbound signals to share the same bandwidth—offering the MNO savings of approximately 27 percent of the network's bandwidth being leased on the APSTAR 6 satellite.
