Gilat Unveils Revolutionary Small-Cell-Over-Satellite Solution for 3G and 4G Coverage
November 01 2016 - 7:51AM
Gilat Satellite Networks Ltd. (NASDAQ:GILT) (TASE:GILT), a
worldwide leader in satellite networking technology, solutions and
services, announced today its revolutionary CellEdge SDR (Software
Defined Radio) small-cell-over-satellite solution, for delivery of
3G and 4G coverage to underserved or unserved areas.
Gilat’s CellEdge SDR is designed for the growing
need of delivering high quality broadband and voice services to
remote and rural regions. Gilat’s small cell solution is tightly
integrated with the satellite backhaul, thus optimizing bandwidth
capacity and reducing bandwidth cost.
This Software Defined Radio platform supports both 3G and 4G
services simultaneously and enables seamless migration from 3G to
4G, when required. CellEdge SDR is a flexible, low power,
cost-efficient outdoor small-cell-over-satellite solution, and is
equipped with a solar power option. CellEdge SDR is complemented by
Gilat’s end-to-end turnkey services including installation,
integration and managed services.
“The need to rapidly extend 3G and 4G services to remote regions
is one of the major drivers for satellite backhaul,” said
Christopher Baugh, President of NSR, a leading satellite and space
market research firm. “Considering the need for delivering
broadband services economically, the combination of small cell
access with satellite backhaul should prove attractive to many
operators.”
“Gilat’s CellEdge SDR is a carrier-grade cost-effective solution
designed for delivering the same level of user experience as
terrestrial networks,” explained Hagay Katz, Head of the VSAT Line
of Business at Gilat. “This game-changing solution reinforces our
leading position in mobile backhaul solutions. With CellEdge SDR,
mobile network operators can now extend coverage and provide
profitable services anywhere.”
CellEdge SDR is currently available worldwide for 3G and 4G
services with several installations underway including the recently
announced project with the Australian telecommunication leader,
Optus.
