Petah Tikva - Feb 11, 2004
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.

Beyond the Standard
The SkyEdge DVB-RCS VSAT, compliant with the DVB-RCS standard, goes several steps beyond the standard by providing a variety of operational and performance enhancements. These enhancements are not yet part of the standard, and are currently absent in most, if not all, other standard-compliant products, but are essential for providing cost effective satellite networking services to end users.

Embedded technologies such as IP and HTTP acceleration, embedded accelerated VPN, end-to-end QoS, encryption, tiered services and SLA support are some of the VSAT's extensive IP capabilities. In addition to the DVB-RCS standard access scheme, the SkyEdge DVB-RCS VSAT has additional access schemes and modulation methods for maximum network efficiency and performance.
