Tatanet to deploy Israeli satellite network to serve SME
India's leading satellite service provider Tatanet has chosen Israel's Gilat Satellite Networks's broadband service to serve Small and Medium Enterprises and industry vertical market segments in India.
The Israeli firm's new SkyEdge network, which comprises two satellite hub stations and up to 13,000 VSATs, will enable the delivery of cost-effective and reliable broadband communications to India's rapidly growing industrial economy, a press release from Gilat said.
SkyEdge is a satellite communications system that delivers high-quality voice, broadband data and video services over a powerful unified system. The Israeli hi-tech firm has received an initial order for 3,500 VSATs under the agreement between the two companies, the release said.
"Gilat is a leading provider to the Indian market and we are proud to have been chosen once again by Tatanet. We believe that our excellent VSAT technology and superior technical support were instrumental in our being selected for this significant project," Erez Antebi, CEO of Gilat Network Systems, said.
Tatanet has been a Gilat customer since 2005 and already serves thousands of corporate and enterprise sites across the country through its existing SkyEdge network.
