Gilat Satellite Networks, a
prominent player in satellite networking technology, solutions, and services
across the globe, announced today that it has entered into a partnership with
Inmarsat (LSE:ISAT.L) to capitalize on additional market opportunities for the
forthcoming Global Xpress service in the fixed, land-based VSAT sector.
Inmarsat is the leading supplier of global mobile satellite communications
services.
Gilat’s technical offering
is ideally suited to drive adoption of Global Xpress amongst end-users in need
of fixed VSAT broadband connectivity. The agreement stipulates that Gilat will
supply an entire portfolio of fixed GX land terminals and associated network
management resources to VARs. This will allow VARs to tackle the additional
identified opportunities.
All 3 of the GX in
Inmarsat’s fleet (the Inmarsat-5 constellation) are on track to provide global
coverage before the end of 2014. The revolutionary Ka-band network will deliver
globally available, high-speed broadband data services, the likes of which the
industry has never seen.
“Gilat’s leadership in
Ka-band satellite technology, coupled with their outstanding brand-presence in
the enterprise land market, makes them an important partner in addressing these
additional opportunities,” said Rupert Pearce, CEO, Inmarsat. “Gilat’s unique
solution was customised especially for these new service opportunities and
draws on their broad experience in fulfilling the unique requirements of land
enterprise customers.”
“We are proud to be part of
this important alliance, and regard the Global Xpress initiative as a strong
advocator of Gilat’s strategic investment in Ka-band, the next generation in
satellite communications,” said Erez Antebi, Gilat’s CEO. “This project allowed
us to bring together two of Gilat’s centers of excellence — our advancements
and innovation in Ka-band VSAT technology, and our dedicated service and
product quality for the enterprise market.”
