Gilat will use its SkyEdge 2 platform including WebEnhance VSAT to deliver broadband connectivity to the bank’s branches across the country. The partnership will allow Banco de la Nación to offer ATM and online banking access to customers in remote and itinerant branches. It will also connect remote offices with enterprise applications.

   Additionally, as part of the contract, Gilat will provide satellite backup to the bank’s data center by deploying a disaster recovery site in Chiclayo, a city to the north of Peru. This will ensure continuous broadband connectivity for the bank’s mission critical operations during emergency outages when terrestrial systems fail.
