Gilat To
Provide Internet Via Satellite to Panama
Schools
Gilat Satellite Networks said it will supply
its SkyEdge II network to Cable and Wireless
Panama to deliver broadband Internet to
hundreds of schools in remote areas
nationwide. Gilat did not disclose the value
of the deal, but market sources estimate it
at $1.2 million.
Cable and Wireless Panama is the country's
largest telecommunications operator. Gilat
will provide equipment, technical support,
assisted network operations, and training.
The new network will enable students in
rural Panama to enjoy an enhanced
educational experience through interactive
learning programs and other Internet
applications.
Cable and Wireless Panama already uses a
Gilat SkyEdge network to provide telephony
and Internet services to more than 450
communities in rural Panama.
Gilat EVP sales Guy Moskowitz said, "Gilat's
SkyEdge II network will enable Cable and
Wireless Panama to benefit from the
platform's highly efficient use of the
satellite link while providing an advanced,
high-performance and reliable solution to
Panama's schools. We are pleased to once
again partner with Cable and Wireless
Panama, this time to enhance the quality of
education for students throughout the
country."
