High Performance Multi-Star Gateways

NetEdge is a breakthrough, high-performance satellite communications solution, specifically designed to meet the requirements of multi-star private networks for corporations as well as for cellular backhaul applications.

The NetEdge solution is composed of remote sites using SkyEdge II Access/Pro VSATs, NetEdge Gateways, and a SkyEdge II hub. Single-hop connectivity is provided network wide between the NetEdge components. This enhances the user experience and application performance for all intra-corporation, cellular backhaul and Internet traffic. MF-TDMA network wide shared access implies significant space segment saving compared to alternatives.

With a competitive price offering and bandwidth savings that can reach 30% and even more compared to SCPC solutions, NetEdge is a truly compelling solution offering network efficiency and best total cost of ownership.

enhanced capabilities

NetEdge is based on Gilat’s market-leading SkyEdge II platform. SkyEdge II is a standards-based DVB-S2 ACM VSAT system with a multi dimensional DVB-RCS adaptive inbound that guarantees higher availability and more efficient use of satellite resources. The NetEdge Gateways support a forward channel of up to 10Mbps with up to eight return channels providing a total of up to 8Mbps and serving up to 100 remote sites. Quasi-continuous burst technology allows channel efficiencies approaching SCPC but with the benefit of shared access.

The network is an all-IP network supporting data and voice as well as video and other applications. All components utilize Gilat’s advanced protocol optimization technologies such as TCP and HTTP acceleration designed to improve browser and VoIP experience. Rich QoS mechanisms have been implemented to guarantee the required SLA for different users and applications.

NetEdge Architecture

NetEdge is an expansion of a SkyEdge II hub, and adding more NetEdge Gateways is easy.
Each NetEdge micro-star network comprises a dedicated NetEdge Gateway (available in different size configurations) and SkyEdge II VSATS at the remote sites.
Each NetEdge Gateway includes one (or two for redundancy) transmit module and multiple receivers as well as optional add-on devices. The hub operator has complete management and control of the Gateway. In addition, the regional Gateway operator can have SVNO management access allowing local control.
