If this is a new service, how can you say that GTH uses
"field-proven" technology?
While new to the consumer market, Gilat's industry-leading
satellite technology has been the
wide-area networking platform of choice for major
businesses throughout the world for many years. The
technology behind the
GTH system is based on Gilat's corporate VSAT technology
which is used in
over 200,000 business locations to support a wide variety
of mission-critical applications.
How does GTH compare with other satellite-delivered Internet
systems?
GTH is a true always-on Internet service that both receives and
transmits Internet content over
satellite at broadband speeds. Unlike its satellite
Internet competitors, GTH does not require consumers to
tie up their phone
line or retain a separate terrestrial Internet service
provider. The GTH
product responds to what today's Internet enthusiasts say
they want -
high-speed, always-on connection to the Internet that doesn't
require a telephone connection.
Instead of having to deal with multiple service
providers, multiple bills, busy telephone lines and slow
transmission speeds, GTH offers a
one-stop complete Internet service package.
How does GTH service compare to Digital Subscriber Line (DSL)
and cable modems?
GTH, like DSL and cable modems, provides an always-on, broadband
connection to the Internet.
However, unlike DSL and cable modem service,
which are extremely limited in
availability, GTH is available throughout the
country - even in remote areas
- over satellite. As long as you have line-
f-sight to the satellite, the
service is available to you.
