Mongolia Means More For Gilat


Gilat's Sky Edge II System Gilat Satellite Networks Ltd. (Nasdaq: GILT) has announced Incomnet has added Gilat's SkyAbis cellular backhaul solution to its satellite communications network to serve Mongolia's mobile operators.

Gilat's SkyAbis is a prepackaged solution for cellular backhaul, based on the SkyEdge multi-service platform. The solution enables operators to deploy hybrid networks that extend the reach of their terrestrial and cellular infrastructure to remote communities. SkyAbis features traffic optimization and dynamic bandwidth allocation for CDMA/GSM backhaul, with much higher space-segment efficiencies when compared to SCPC. Earlier this year Incomnet deployed a Gilat SkyEdge network, which provides toll-quality telephony to Mongolia's rural citizens as part of Incomnet's Universal Service Obligations. The network also provides interactive data networking to selected Mongolian government agencies and businesses, particularly those in the financial-services sector.
