Gilat Achieves Fastest Ever Modem Speeds of 1.2 Gbps Total Throughput over Telesat's Phase 1 LEO Satellite
November 21 2019 - 7:06AM
Gilat Satellite Networks Ltd. (NASDAQ, TASE: GILT), a worldwide
leader in satellite networking technology, solutions and services,
announced today that Gilat achieved the fastest ever modem speeds
of 1.2 Gbps total throughput over Telesat's Phase 1 LEO
satellite. This industry milestone demonstrates the potential of
high throughput Non-Geostationary Orbit (NGSO) satellite
constellations. Gilat's technology opens opportunities for new
telecommunications products and a wider range of customer
experiences to markets demanding very high throughputs such as
cruise ships, large airplanes, trunking and high-capacity
government applications. Additionally, the combination of high
throughput provided by Gilat’s innovative technology and the low
latency from NGSO creates opportunity for delay-sensitive
applications such as 5G.
“Telesat is delivering on the promise of exceptional throughput,
high data rate, low latency applications and this demonstration
highlights the benefits of our LEO constellation architecture,"
said Michel Forest, Director of Systems Engineering for the LEO
Program at Telesat. "Telesat truly values our longstanding
collaboration with Gilat and we are pleased to have achieved these
remarkable levels of performance using Gilat's innovative
technology."
"The strong partnership between Telesat and Gilat marks another
outstanding achievement for delivery of next generation satellite
services required for high-throughput applications," said Amir
Yafe, Head of Global Accounts at Gilat. "Demonstrating the
industry's fastest modem marks a significant breakthrough and a
major milestone in realizing Gilat’s vision of enabling plentiful,
quality and affordable broadband, by bringing innovative
technologies that maximize the promise of NGSO satellite
constellations."
