Cisco Getting Into Satcom
Israel’s Globes Online reports Gilat’s SkyEdge technology, having met Cisco’s development criteria, will be incorporated into enterprise routers, helping customers with voice, video, data and wireless communications transmission over high speed satellite networks.
Gilat CEO and president Amiram Levinberg said, “Teaming with Cisco in developing and marketing interoperable networking solutions truly differentiates Gilat in the VSAT market and shows our commitment to provide our customers with an edge beyond the latest technology, via its cooperation with market leaders. We believe Cisco’s interest to add satellite communication capability into its enterprise routers is good news for the satellite industry in general as it expands the addressable market for satellite communication technology and services.”
Gilat’s U.S. subsidiary Spacenet is selling Cisco-compatible network modules today. Glad to see their technology is getting traction in the U.S.
I like their fruity video.
