Gilat’s Market-Leading SkyEdge II-c Platform is DVB-S2X Ready
May 24 2016 - 7:08AM
Gilat Satellite Networks Ltd. (NASDAQ:GILT) (TASE:GILT), a
worldwide leader in satellite networking technology, solutions and
services, announced that its market-leading SkyEdge II-c platform
will support the new DVB-S2X standard. Gilat’s DVB-S2X-compatible
X-Architecture hub and VSATs are optimized for HTS wideband
networks and designed to support all applications.
Gilat’s one-platform/multi-application X-Architecture for
SkyEdge II-c, already deployed in several networks, will support
the DVB-S2X transmission standard for true wideband,
high-throughput operation. Gilat’s X-Chassis is hardware-ready for
the new DVB-S2X standard and will support simultaneous operations
of both DVB-S2X and DVB-S2 carriers. The S2X portfolio is DVB-S2
backward-compatible and expected to be available starting the first
quarter of 2017.
“The global community of solution providers and HTS operators
has embraced our S2X-compatible SkyEdge II-c platform, due to the
unprecedented capacity and efficiency of our X-Architecture,” said
Hagay Katz, Head of the VSAT Line of Business at Gilat. “With our
new S2X wideband modulator cards and VSATs, we will maximize the
throughput of HTS satellites. Our high-performance VSATs, which are
already equipped with multi-core ARM processors, will leverage the
powerful CPU to utilize the wideband S2X carriers and deliver up to
400Mbps throughput to a single site.
“This will also double the hub capacity that can be achieved
with the same rack space,” Mr. Katz continued. “HTS operators will
be able to dramatically improve their ROI across all market
segments, including Broadband Access, Cellular Backhaul, Enterprise
and Mobility, by providing much-needed faster speeds and enhanced
user experience.”
