Gilat Selected To Deploy Rural Telephony Network In Papua New Guinea
Port Morseby (SPX) Jun 22, 2004 Telikom Papua New Guinea (PNG) and Gilat Satellite Networks Ltd. today announced that Gilat has been selected by Telikom PNG to provide a hub and 500 DialAw@y IP VSATs for rural telephony services across the island country. The network is expected to expand to 2,000 sites and will provide support for IP, education and health applications. Dr. Florian Gubon, Chairman of the Board of Telikom PNG said, "A satellite-based network was ideal in our situation due to the lack of existing infrastructure. There is huge demand for our services and we are very pleased with the development of the rural communities in the wake of this project, which is only the first stage. We look forward to benefiting from Gilat's experience as we move ahead with this important project." Oded Sheshinski, Managing Director of Gilat Australia, said, "We are proud to have been selected in this tender. We look forward to establishing a long-term relationship with Telikom PNG in which Gilat experience worldwide will contribute to turn this project into a profitable service across Papua New Guinea."
