The hybrid broadband innovative solution comprising SES-9's capacity and
Gilat's SkyEdge II-c Libra hybrid terminal will enable customers to
deliver cost effective broadband internet connectivity to underserved
areas and improve download speeds.
Customers will be able to integrate SES's satellite network for download
traffic with their existing terrestrial network for upload traffic. The
service is provided through Gilat's hybrid terminal which uses the
existing network for the return channel and allows the download via
SES's satellite.
The solution will offer download speeds of up to 20 Mbps and is ideal
for mobile network operators who want to offload their congested traffic
networks and offer higher data rates, as well as for DTH providers who
want to venture into the triple play of Internet, television and
telephony.
"We believe the satellite-cellular-terrestrial hybrid approach
represents a huge opportunity in Asia," said Ferdinand Kayser, Chief
Commercial Officer at SES. "DTH providers will be able to use their
existing satellite infrastructure and distribution channels to offer
triple-play services to improve customer loyalty and reduce churn. In
addition, MNOs can offer the hybrid broadband service everaging their
cellular networks and boost them with more capacity, thus significantly
improving broadband penetration to underserved areas."
"We are excited to be partnering with SES again on our novel
satellite-cellular hybrid initiative," added Ron Levin, Director of
Strategic Accounts at Gilat. "The endorsement of one of the world's
largest satellite operators is testament to our innovative technology."
Gilat and SES will be launching the hybrid initiative in Asia at
CommunicAsia 2016, 31 May - 3 June 2016 at Marina Bay Sands in
Singapore. See SES at #1R2-01, Hall C, Level 1 or Gilat at Hospitality
