Gilat Launches its Revolutionary Distributed X-Architecture to Address the Growing Demands of High-Throughput Satellites (HTS) in a Single Platform

SDN-based architecture enables satellite operators to dynamically support multiple fixed and mobility applications and business models from a single platform

Petah Tikva, Israel, October 27, 2015 - Gilat Satellite Networks Ltd. (NASDAQ, TASE: GILT), a worldwide leader in satellite networking technology, solutions and services, announced today the launch of X-Architecture for SkyEdge II-c, its revolutionary distributed Architecture to address the growing demands of High-Throughput Satellites (HTS) . The Software-Defined Networking (SDN)-based architecture enables satellite operators and service providers to support mobility, enterprise, cellular and consumer broadband applications and business models from a single platform.

The programmable, cloud-based architecture allows networks of any size, using traditional wide-beam and high-throughput satellites, to deliver managed services in hosted or virtual network business models. X-Architecture was built to support dynamic on-demand services, empowering service providers to broaden their offerings. Unique cloud bandwidth management capabilities enable both mobility and Virtual Network Operators (VNOs) services over spot-beam satellites.

Flexibility is enabled by the distributed architecture, which separates data center functions from baseband elements. The network is easily controlled by a global, unified and centralized network management system, Gilat's TotalNMS.
