Part of Gilat’s SkyEdge II-c platform, the new Taurus is the
world’s fastest TDMA VSAT. The combined capabilities of delivering

significant technological advances to support the growing demand
for IFC services. It dramatically improves the available throughput
per aircraft as well as the efficient utilization of bandwidth.

cloud-based nature of X-Architecture offers IFC service providers
an integrated capability for IP transparency and true seamless
switchover while maintaining user application sessions. It further
