Myanmar-based systems integrator Terabit Wave has ordered Gilat Satellite Networks’ Satcom-On-The-Move terminals for a Myanmar governmental agency.
Covering tactical satcom units, vehicle-mounted satellite antennas and related equipment, the order is for a SkyEdge SkyEdge II hub and terminals, including SatTrooper Manpacks, Raysat Satcom-On-The-Move antennas, WaveStream BUCs and associated modems.
Deployment is expected to begin during the third and fourth quarters of 2014. Terabit Wave won the deal through a competitive bidding process involving leading global and local solution providers.
“The name of the game in today’s communications is mobility. Gilat’s Satcom-On-The-Move solutions are especially suited for the kind of emergency operations that our client was concerned about,” explained U Tay Za Tun, CEO at Terabit Wave.
“Terabit Wave needed to provide a Ku-band Satcom-On-The-Move integrated solution,” added Erez Antebi, Gilat's CEO. "Our terminals answered their specifications not only for their compact, lightweight design but also because they can be set up and dismantled quickly and are easy to operate."
