Gilat Satellite Networks Ltd, a worldwide leader in satellite networking technology, announced the introduction of its next generation product — the SkyEdge DVB-RCS very small aperture terminal (VSAT), a member of its newly launched SkyEdge product family.
The SkyEdge DVB-RCS VSAT has a unique dual mode operational capability that enables the operator to benefit from a DVB-RCS standard VSAT with a broad, customizable enhanced feature set on top of the standard return link. This enhanced DVB-RCS VSAT offers a high performance, two-way, satellite-based solution enabling interactive Broadband IP and multicasting operations based on the DVB-RCS standard return channel.
The SkyEdge DVB-RCS VSAT was designed for the high-end market segment of corporations, service providers and carriers in need of an open standard-based solution that is capable of supporting up to 2Mbps return link and a variety of VSAT embedded capabilities.
The powerful SkyEdge DVB-RCS VSAT has the advantage of complying with the internationally recognized DVB-RCS standard as well as being part of Gilat's SkyEdge family of products, and can operate in either an enhanced DVB-RCS mode or in Gilat's multi-service mode.
While operating in the enhanced DVB-RCS mode, the SkyEdge DVB-RCS is adapted for delivering interactive Broadband IP and multicasting applications as well as VPN, distance learning and all interactive broadband IP applications. High-speed forward and return channels increase throughput and guarantee efficiency and maximum performance for user applications.
In the Gilat multi-service mode, the SkyEdge DVB-RCS provides a wide range of solutions with full telephony and IP capabilities supporting all data and IP multicast applications, broadband IP, legacy protocol and VoIP over mesh, star and multistar network topologies.
The SkyEdge DVB-RCS VSAT operates on the same hub system as do the other members of the SkyEdge VSAT product family. This unique feature enables customers to operate standard and multi-service VSATs in the same network.
