Vietnam Telecom International selects Gilat for Broadband Satellite Network Deployment

Gilat Satellite Networks Ltd.  announced that it is providing a SkyEdge II broadband satellite communications network to Vietnam Telecom International (VTI), a subsidiary of VNPT, Vietnam's national telecommunications service provider.
 

 
 
The new SkyEdge II system will operate via VINASAT-1, the first Vietnamese communications satellite, and will combine both C-band and Ku-band capacity within the same network using the SkyEdge II multi-transponder capability.
 
The VSAT network will consist of hundreds of remote sites and will support a wide range of applications, including broadband Internet access, GSM trunking and private leased circuits.
 
Mr. Ho Cong Lam, VTI's Deputy Managing Director, said, "We have concluded that the SkyEdge II is the most suitable communications system for our new VSAT services. By incorporating Gilat's VSAT platform, we can deliver a diverse range of services to end-users in every corner of the country."
