The New Simple in Internet Connectivity

System-C

Integrated Ka/Ku-Band Broadband Hub SystemWhile multi-spot beam Ka/Ku satellite networks mean increased throughput and affordability for end users, they can also create more complexity for network operators when it comes to managing multiple services and multiple gateways.

To dramatically simplify your network operations, Gilat Satellite Networks has drawn on 25 years of broadband satellite communications to introduce the SkyEdge II-c. This high performance dynamo integrates in a compact chassis all network services - including Fair Use System, QoS, Web acceleration, Compression, Encryption and IP services - and uses a single Network Management System to control all hub elements at all gateways and all VSATs.

SkyEdge II-c system supports large scale broadband services for both consumer and enterprise applications, including fast web browsing, high-speed trunking, video streaming, IPTV, VoIP and other bandwidth-intensive services.

Flexible Business Models for ISP; VNO and ResellerIn addition to reseller and direct service models where the network operator defines the services, SkyEdge II-c supports wholesale service acquisition models in which ISPs can purchase bulk capacity on all or some of the beams and define their own services. For wholesale models, ISPs or VNOs have full control of service parameters such as speeds, usage quotas, oversubscriptions and QoS and have detailed monitoring capabilities such as CPE status, bandwidth usage and RF levels. Using TotalNMS, the ISPs and VNOs can manage their own services directly and independently - particularly important for satellites that cover multiple countries which may need different business models.

Optimizing CAPEX and OPEXThe system’s scalable architecture requires a minimal initial investment to light up user beams, later expanding as demand grows. Full service automation lets you easily scale up by installing VSATs and activating service without a single phone call. Do-It-Yourself VSAT installation accelerates penetration in markets with greater sensitivity to initial costs and reduces the need for equipment subsidies. The centralized management system and highly redundant integrated hub baseband architecture, facilitates support for unmanned gateway operations.

TotalNMS - single centralized network management system

High Availability Dense ArchitectureSkyEdge II-c is designed to answer the main needs of a large scale multi spot beam system:

•HighAvailabilitySystem-1:Nredundancyandautomaticfailover on all hub components provide very high system reliability. Integrated dual star active/active redundant Gbit packet switching architecture guarantees that there is no single point of failure in the system.

•UnattendedHubArchitecture-designedwithafullsetofout-of-band central management tools to provide remote visibility and control of hub elements. Some of the main tools are: an integrated spectrum analyzer to remotely monitor channels, an RF module enables the debugging of RF issues by switching to embedded low fly simulator, advanced power control to hard power on/off hub modules, fullvisibilitytothechassisHWconfiguration,andremoteconsole access to all devices enables remote expert analysis of system behavior.

•ScalableArchitectureReducesCAPEX-hubscanbedeployed with support for one outbound carrier and few inbound carriers per beam. Network segments can be added at a later stage to support more capacity.

•HighDensityHubsReducesRackSpaceandPower-66Msps Outbound (support carrier rates up to 200 Mbps) andhighdensityMultiChannelReceivers(upto10Mspsperreceiver) to serve a large number of broadband customers.

High Speed Broadband TerminalsThe SkyEdge II-c VSAT portfolio includes high speed CPEs to provide next generation Internet services via satellite, utilizing advanced embedded acceleration, caching and security technologies to ensure a superior user experience.
