Gilat Wins 123 Wendy Restaurant VSAT Deal
Petah Tikva, Israel (SPX) Feb 23, 2005 Gilat Satellite Networks has announced that its U.S. subsidiary, Spacenet has been selected by Wendy's Restaurants of Rochester, to provide a Connexstar broadband satellite network to 123 Wendy's Old Fashioned Hamburger restaurants in New York, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Michigan and Ohio. The Connexstar VSAT high-speed network will support remote control solutions, point-of-sale (POS) polling, Internet access and other important retail networking applications. Wendy's of Rochester will also use the VSAT network for fast credit/debit card authorization. Randy Traugott, vice president of marketing for Wendy's of Rochester, said, "We found the Connexstar service to be the ideal platform to provide the fast, high-capacity, always-on connectivity needed for our advanced applications. "In our pilot phase, it proved to be highly flexible and dependable. Should a remote site experience a POS problem, our data center personnel can remotely log-in to the Connexstar remote-access device and resolve any issue and/or update the POS software." Spacenet President and CEO Bill Gerety said, "In the past few months, we have signed contracts to serve more than 370 Wendy's franchised restaurants. Leading restaurant operators continue to select Connexstar over competing offerings because of its excellent performance, reliability and economics. We look forward to serving Wendy's of Rochester's connectivity needs now and in the future."
