Wireless Satellite and Broadcasting Newsletter, March, 2004

Gilat Satellite Networks announced an agreement to supply Australia's second largest telecommunications company, SingTel Optus, with an additional 2,500 Skystar VSATs and hub expansion equipment. The addition of VSATs to Optus' network reflects its plans to grow broadband services in Australia and New Zealand, particularly in rural and regional areas.

Optus operates two-way satellite services throughout Australia and New Zealand based predominantly on Gilat's 360 and 360E systems. The Skystar 360E, for example, is already being used by Optus to deliver distance learning services to small rural towns and isolated homesteads in New South Wales (NSW) and across the Northern Territory (NT).
