SkyEdge IV is transitioning into a fully virtualized platform, with a software-defined architecture that reflects today’s operational and business realities. By decoupling software from proprietary hardware, SkyEdge IV gives operators the flexibility to run network functions on standard, off-the-shelf servers or in the cloud—transforming how networks are built, scaled, and managed.
- Gilat is the only vendor with a next-generation platform–SkyEdge IV–already operational on software-defined satellites
- The platform provides digital transformation of the ground segment with DIFI interfaces and multi-waveform capabilities
- SkyEdge IV is transitioning to the cloud with all features and capabilities fully preserved
- SkyEdge IV supports phased virtualization with no service disruption or forced upgrades
- Enables flexible scaling, rapid service deployment, one click re-configurations and new business models via a Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) approach
- The virtualized SkyEdge IV is future-ready for 5G-NTN —scalable, agile, and ready to support the next generation of satellite services.
