Frisch's Restaurants Deploys Gilat Broadband Service
Petah Tikva (SPX) Jun 22, 2004 Gilat Satellite Networks Ltd. announced Monday that its U.S. subsidiary, Spacenet Inc., has been selected by Frisch's Restaurants, Inc. to provide a Connexstar broadband satellite network to 120 Frisch's Big Boy and Golden Corral restaurants in Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky. Connexstar CX-500 provides broadband IP connectivity and Internet access with high reliability, performance and lifecycle economics. This service will be used by Frisch's to run a broad range of IP-based applications including high-speed credit and gift-card authorization, point-of-sale polling and corporate intranet applications. In the future, Frisch's expects to expand its use of the Connexstar platform to include broadband video surveillance and interactive distance learning. William Kuntz, Frisch's director of information services, said, "The deployment of our VSAT network went very smoothly and it now provides us with a full-time, persistent network connection that is highly reliable. When comparing VSAT to high-speed terrestrial alternatives, we discovered many of the terrestrial services were either too expensive or were simply not available to all our stores. The ubiquity of VSAT technology and Connexstar's superior support for IP applications made the Spacenet solution the best choice for our needs." Spacenet President and CEO Bill Gerety said, "Our agreement with Frisch's is the most recent example of the strong adoption of our Connexstar service by progressive restaurant enterprises. These chains continue to select Connexstar over competing offerings because of its performance, reliability and economics. We are gratified to have been selected by Frisch's and we embrace the opportunity to help them optimize their business operations."
