What is Gilat-To-Home (GTH)? - cont'd

How will GTH users surf the Internet and receive e-mail?
GTH users will access Internet and e-mail content using standard PC-based browser and e-mail applications.

Is GTH available outside of the continental U.S.?
GTH service will launch in the continental U.S. in the fourth quarter of 2000. Gilat Satellite Networks recently announced the creation of Gilat-To-Home Latin America, which will enter that market in early 2001. Gilat Satellite Networks will issue press releases regarding the Latin venture partners and company plans for other international market plans as appropriate.

Does GTH work with small-dish satellite television services?
Yes. With a DISH upgrade, GTH's 24x36-inch satellite antenna is capable of simultaneously receiving DISH Network's 500-channel digital television programming for reception on your TV, as well as always-on Internet service on your PC from the GTH satellite. The GTH satellite antenna will be available in a configuration that has two DISH Network satellite receivers on the antenna for satellite television reception - this in addition to a third satellite receiver for receiving Internet content and a GTH satellite transmitter for transmitting to the Internet. The GTH system is not compatible with satellite television systems other than EchoStar's DISH Network.

If a consumer already has a DISH Network system installed, how do they upgrade to GTH?
If an existing DISH service subscriber receives programming from EchoStar satellites at 110° and 119°, upgrading to the GTH service is as simple as swapping out the standard DISH Network satellite antenna for a GTH satellite antenna and mount and running two additional coaxial cables from the antenna to the consumer's PC. No modifications are required to the existing DISH Network receivers or wiring.
