Gilat Satellite Networks has announced that Brazil’s Amazonian Protection System will deploy a Gilat SkyEdge II broadband satellite communications network at more than 1,000 sites. SIPAM operates a sophisticated network of cartography and telemetry systems that provide information to help manage weather forecasting, security and other public services in the remote Amazonian region.
The SkyEdge II VSAT network will serve as the foundation of SIPAM’s efforts to modernize its communications infrastructure. The new broadband satellite network will enable SIPAM to more effectively disseminate critical information to Amazonian states and cities and the dozens of institutions and isolated sites that rely on SIPAM data to meet the demands of the region’s population.
Gilat’s SkyEdge II is a multi-service platform enabling the delivery of high-quality voice, broadband data and video services for diverse environments including enterprises, rural networks, cellular backhaul and government network applications. SkyEdge II is a standards-based system using DVB-S2 and DVB-RCS.
With better efficiencies and full adaptivity for both the inbound and outbound channels, it provides higher performance that serves the growing requirements of end-users. Gilat’s diverse portfolio of SkyEdge II VSATs are all supported by a unified platform, offering service providers the most suitable product for their application needs as well as the flexibility to evolve their networks.
The newest addition to Gilat’s SkyEdge II portfolio is NetEdgeTM, a dedicated solution for multi star networks, specifically designed to meet the needs of corporations and cellular backhaul applications.
