Gilat Satellite Networks is supplying a SkyEdge broadband satellite hub station and VSATs to Teleport-Services, a Russian satellite services operator.
Teleport-Services will use the SkyEdge network to expand an interactive distance-learning network for the Modern University for the Humanities (MUH), an institution with which it is affiliated.
In addition to serving 300 sites for MUH, Teleport-Services will use the VSAT network to serve businesses and government agencies in remote regions of eastern Russia, where terrestrial connectivity options are either unavailable or unreliable. Teleport-Services' clients will use the VSAT connectivity for Internet access, distance learning, video conferencing and other interactive data applications.
