PETAH TIKVA, Israel, June 28, 2006/Satnews Daily/ — Impsat, one of Latin America's largest providers of private telecommunications networks and Internet services, has ordered Gilat Satellite Networks, Ltd. (Nasdaq: GILT) SkyEdge satellite hub and VSAT equipment.
Utilizing the SkyEdge platform, Impsat will provide services to enterprises throughout Argentina with a wide range of data networking applications, including broadband Internet access and VoIP. Gilat said SkyEdge's advanced Quality of Service (QoS) ensures that Service Level Agreements (SLAs) can be maintained. This is especially important for corporate customers who require committed IP data pipes and low latency for time-sensitive applications such as VoIP and credit card authorization.
SkyEdge's bandwidth-on-demand and IP capabilities will complete our "IP anywhere" offering in Argentina, which provides converged multimedia broadband solutions to any customer, regardless of geographic location, said Leonardo Barbero, Data Products senior vice president for Impsat. “SkyEdge's flexibility also enables us to manage service upgrades in a smooth and simple manner,” he said.
Over the past two years, Impsat has deployed Gilat VSAT equipment at 700 sites to serve corporate customers.
Erez Antebi, CEO for Gilat Network Systems (GNS), a business unit of Gilat Satellite Networks, said, Impsat shall serve as an important landmark for us, proving the case of VSAT technology as an efficient solution to address SCPC services. “In the past, VSATs were mainly focused on contention based transactions, however, the SkyEdge product was developed as well to support SLAs for high-bandwidth corporate and cellular-backhaul applications,” he said.
Gilat said its SkyEdge is a comprehensive satellite communications platform that delivers high-end voice, data and video services over a single, powerful system.
