PETAH TIKVA, Israel, Jan. 24,
2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Gilat Satellite Networks Ltd. (NASDAQ:
GILT) (TASE: GILT), a worldwide leader in satellite networking
technology, solutions and services, announced today the launch of a
new powerful backhaul solution designed to deliver the
high-performance required for next-generation services.
The global trend of demand for higher throughputs and greater
efficiencies will be further accelerated with 5G, generating
exponential growth in network capacity as well as in the number and
types of connected devices and services.
As the leaders in LTE satellite backhaul, Gilat is now further
enhancing and optimizing its SkyEdge II-c multi-service platform
for 5G capacity, service and network availability targets, to
deliver new levels of satellite connectivity in multiple dimensions
from cellular nodes and to the most demanding
applications.
The enhanced SkyEdge II-c solution enables 2.5 Gbps throughput
from a single forward carrier and 1 Gbps throughput from associated
return channels, enabled by highly efficient DVB-S2X wideband
transmission in the forward direction and Gilat's innovative LDPC
fast adaptive return access scheme.
The SkyEdge II-c solution supports the full suite of current
modems and capabilities, including GTP acceleration, Mobile-Edge
Computing (MEC) and carrier grade Layer-2 and Layer-3 with GTP
acceleration.
In addition, the SkyEdge II-c satellite modem product family is
now being extended with its newest addition, Capricorn-PLUS. This
new modem is equipped with a powerful processing engine that
supports new levels of users and services density with up to
100,000 PPS as well as higher throughputs and efficiencies with up
to 100 Mbps throughput on the MF-TDMA return channel.
Moreover, the SkyEdge II-c scalable, cloud-based architecture
offers a migration path to Software Defined Networking (SDN) and
Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) with software upgrade,
making it a future proof solution.
"As networks evolve to 5G, Gilat is excited to be at the
forefront with a next generation satellite backhaul solution to
support the coming transition and enable the delivery of new
services," said Moti Goldshtein,
Head of Products at Gilat. "SkyEdge II-c has become the satellite
solution of choice for the world's leading LTE networks, and with
the launch of a new set of capabilities we're now paving the road
to 5G connectivity everywhere."
