Israel-based Gilat Satellite Networks Ltd. announced Oct. 11 that it is supplying a Skyedge broadband satellite hub station and VSATs to Teleport-Services, a Russian satellite-services operator, to use for the Moscow-based Modern University for the Humanities.

In addition to serving 300 sites for the university, 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.
