Davor Folkenfolk, Head of Engineering at Gilat Telecom, said “We use an extensive number of satellite providers which means we can pick the best service for our customers. We can then help them to maximise their bandwidth so that connectivity isn’t something they have to worry about anymore. Our new VSAT capabilities have been driven by demand and developed with our long-term customers. We thank them for their continued support and custom”.
