Gilat is upwardly mobile... on-the-move applications are mobility-ready solution on land, sea and air


Gilat Satellite Networks Ltd. (NASDAQ, TASE: GILT), multi-application SkyEdge II-c platform powered by its distributed X-Architecture is now available, optimized and enhanced to meet the most challenging satellite mobility communication requirements.

Gilat’s Taurus and Capricorn family of VSATs achieve unprecedented throughput reaching up to 400Mbs while enabling transmission at extreme speeds with Doppler timing compensation. SkyEdge II-c VSATs are powered by a multi-core ARM CPU and deliver excellent user experience over satellite.

The SkyEdge II-c platform already successfully deployed worldwide, is now available with new mobility technologies including strong throughput, significant bandwidth efficiency, highest service availability and substantial operational advantages. Additionally, the SkyEdge II-c platform is being enhanced with the latest generation wideband DVB-S2X outbound standard. Gilat is introducing true real-time resilient adaptive LDPC inbound TDMA waveform that enables savings of satellite bandwidth costs while delivering quality service. 

“Gilat’s leading SkyEdge II-c mobility offering has been designed to address the new requirements of In-Flight Connectivity (IFC), maritime and land mobility applications that are now possible with global large scale HTS and VHTS,” said Hagay Katz, Head of the VSAT Line of Business at Gilat. “With this innovative development, Gilat is leapfrogging current market solutions with the most advanced next generation mobility platform for which we are already seeing significant industry embracement.” 

Gilat’s innovative implementation delivers strong spread-spectrum transmission performance, enabling high on-the-move service availability even in the most extreme conditions. The platform is built to deliver maximum space segment efficiency via its true dynamic link adaptivity in the return channel. This is achieved by changes to the carrier symbol rate and ModCod per VSAT on a per-time-slot basis.

Operational benefits are provided via Gilat’s leading TotalNMS, which includes a comprehensive set of mapping tools delivering mobility services to a configurable geographic service area, with automatic beam switching. Global bandwidth management is supported by Gilat’s innovative Cloud Quality of Service (QoS), enabling service providers to provision and manage bandwidth across multiple teleports, satellites and user beams from a central NMS.
