Astel to use Gilat SkyEdge II for corporate/government sites

Attention: open in a new window. PDFPrint

Gilat Satellite Networks will be providing a SkyEdge II broadband satellite communications network to its long-standing customer Astel, one of Kazakhstan's telecoms operators.

The new network for Astel includes two SkyEdge II satellite hub stations and several hundred SkyEdge II Access VSATs, in addition to the recently announced Gilat NetEdge Gateways. The VSAT network will deliver a range of interactive data applications, including VoIP, video conferencing and virtual private networks.

Gilat's SkyEdge II is a multi-service platform enabling the delivery of high-quality voice, broadband data and video services for diverse environments including enterprises, rural networks, cellular backhaul and government network applications. It is also a standards-based system using DVB-S2 and DVB-RCS.

NetEdge is a satellite communications solution specifically designed to meet the requirements of multi-star private networks for corporations as well as for cellular backhaul applications. Single-hop connectivity is provided network-wide between the NetEdge components. This enhances the user experience and application performance for all intra-corporation, cellular backhaul and Internet traffic. It also implies significant space-segment savings compared to alternatives.

"Gilat's ability to continually introduce new solutions that meet our evolving needs is the foundation of our long-term business relationship," said Astel President Vladimir Breusov. “Gilat's advanced SkyEdge II VSAT suite enables us to continue to provide the highest level of customer service while meeting the complex networking requirements of Kazakhstan's enterprises and government agencies. The flexibility of Gilat's solutions will enable us to quickly expand this new network to meet customer demand."

* Founded in 1993, Astel is a telecoms provider in Kazakhstan with a history of building corporate data and voice transmission networks using advanced technologies. The company primarily provides telecoms services through its own data transmission network KazNet. Astel is Kazakhstan's largest provider of satellite communications terminals. Astel plans to expand its telecommunications activities in central Asian countries such as Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan and Turkmenistan.
