Delnet International Corp. Taps Gilat to Provide Cellular Backhaul Solution for SMART
February 02 2015 - 7:44AM
Gilat Satellite Networks Ltd. (Nasdaq:GILT), a worldwide leader in
satellite networking technology, solutions and services, today
announced it has been selected by Delnet International Corp., a
Philippine communications solutions provider, to provide a SkyEdge
II network for 3G and GSM cellular backhaul for SMART
Communications. SMART is a wholly-owned cellular network operator
and Internet service subsidiary of the Philippine Long Distance
Telephone company (PLDT).
As part of the project, Gilat will supply a SkyEdge II network
segment, SkyEdge II Accent VSATs and related services. The majority
of the VSATs will replace older SCPC modems that are currently in
use.
The SkyEdge II Ku-band network will support both 2G and 3G
BTS/Node B sites as part of a migration by SMART from older and
less efficient VSAT solutions, and will provide improved bandwidth
efficiency and higher throughputs.
"Gilat's experience as a provider of cellular backhaul in this
region speaks for itself," said Delnet CEO Klaas Oreel. "Because
Gilat's solutions are field-proven, we have a track record by which
to measure their capabilities."
Gilat's SkyEdge II cellular backhaul solution enables network
operators to significantly save on satellite capacity through the
use of Dynamic Allocation Multiple Access (DAMA) capabilities which
allocate satellite capacity to the site as required, resulting in
OPEX savings.
The solution also includes sophisticated support of automatic
uplink power control that compensates for rain attenuation without
additional consumption of space segment, as well as strong QoS and
policing, ensuring high quality even during periods of congestion
due to excessive data traffic.
"We have vast experience in deployments of this type for our
customers in Asia," said Stephane Palomba, Gilat Regional Vice
President, Asia. "Our cellular backhaul solutions for 2G and 3G
networks will ensure that SMART's customers are well-positioned to
receive reliable broadband coverage."
