Petah Tikva, Israel (SPX) Jun 09, 2006 Gilat Satellite Networks Ltd. announced Thursday it has completed deployment of a SkyEdge broadband VSAT satellite network to Telecomunicacoes de Sao Paulo, the largest subsidiary of Brazil's Telefonica Group, which is responsible for fixed telephony and data services in the district. With deployment of SkyEdge, TELESP was the first company to fulfill the Universal Service Obligation established by The Brazilian National Telecommunications Agency for 2005. Gilat's SkyEdge solution enables TELESP to provide public communication services to tens of thousands of citizens in schools, small businesses and public call offices throughout Sao Paulo state. Gilat's SkyEdge offers a comprehensive solution for rural communications, enabling public toll-quality voice services efficiently over a satellite. In addition, broadband Internet services may also be bundled in the future using the same platform, Gilat said in a statement. The solution supports the existing Telefonica payphones, thus reducing the cost of the deployment. One of the key advantages of the SkyEdge is its seamless and quick integration into the national SS7 network, including customization to the local Brazilian signaling variant.
