Spacenet Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Gilat Satellite Networks Ltd. (Nasdaq: GILT) has introduced its new Prysm Pro application and network management appliance.

Prysm Pro is Spacenet’s 2G integrated networking solution, based on the Prysm network appliance that has already been installed at thousands of nationwide business locations across multiple industries. Prysm Pro is a self-contained hardware and software solution that provides a broad range of networking and content-delivery functions, as well as support for enhanced security and backup connectivity for business continuity. In response to customer demand, Spacenet launched Prysm Pro to provide support for a wider range of business applications and streamlined corporate-wide network management practices. The innovative Prysm Pro is a modular, scalable, off-the-shelf IP network appliance that offers unique features not comparable to other products on the market. It can be completely customized to support multiple secure wireless networks and provides integrated support for a wide range of corporate applications, including out-of-the-box support for data acceleration, retail applications/POS hardware interfaces, PCI compliance, and multimedia content delivery such as digital media. Additionally, Prysm Pro is integrated with Spacenet’s Managed Network Services, providing access to a user-friendly web portal to enable simplified and centralized network management.

The Prysm Pro is designed for deployment in Wide Area Network (WAN) and Local Area Network (LAN) environments. On the WAN side, it interfaces to a VSAT, DSL, cable, or 3G wireless modem, or a combination of multiple WAN links to support high availability hybrid networks. On the LAN side, it attaches via Ethernet and USB to any IP-based devices and via serial ports to legacy serial devices. The Prysm Pro can also be purchased with an integrated SkyEdge or SkyEdge II satellite router module.
