A new product that combines the indoor and outdoor units into a single weather-proof box, and it lowers the cost involved in delivering broadband services via satellite?
Gilat Satellite Networks Ltd. (NASDAQ, TASE: GILT) announced the launch of Scorpio VSAT-in-a-box for high-speed consumer broadband. This latest addition to Gilat’s SkyEdge II-c family of VSATs lowers the cost barrier of delivering broadband services via satellite.
