[SatNews] Tech conference attendees have given the Company a significant award...

Spacenet Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Gilat Satellite Networks Ltd. (Nasdaq: GILT) and a leading provider of managed network services, was selected as a winner of the 2011 National Association of Convenience Stores (“NACS”) NACStech Expo Tech Trends award for its network appliance, the Prysm Pro. Selected directly by the NACS Tech conference attendees, this award recognizes Spacenet’s innovation in supporting retailers’ unique network requirements. Spacenet will present an overview of the award winning solution during this year’s NACS conference in Chicago, IL.

“It’s a real honor to be selected for this award,” said Spacenet President and COO, Glenn Katz.  “This is the fifth technology award for the Prysm Pro, and this one is very special because we were selected by the attendees of the NACS Tech event, the folks who understand what it takes to successfully support various retail requirements in large, diverse networks. Spacenet’s advanced technology platform allows us to offer more broadband options to more locations while managing operations from a central location. This provides for full PCI compliance while supporting applications such as IP routing, legacy protocol conversion, VoIP, or WIFI hot spots, and other custom solutions that our customers require”.

Spacenet provides managed network services for some of the largest retailers in America, offering one of the broadest portfolios of services and support in the industry. The recent acquisition of CICAT Networks has greatly improved Spacenet’s ability to meet challenging network requirements for large organizations. The combination of CICATs’ networking partnerships throughout the country, and the Prysm Pro’s ability to integrate the best WAN option at each location, allows Spacenet to reduce costs and operational issues while improving network performance and availability.
