Gilat Telecom has announced new enhancements to its Software-Defined Wide Area Network.
Gilat is the first company in the world to have developed an SD-WAN solution for both satellite and fiber traffic.
The new SD-WAN enhancements centre around the integration of technology from ‘F5’ that enables complex traffic management decisions based on client, server, or application status.
Gilat is also leveraging F5’s event-driven scripting language, which is key to addressing application delivery challenges across any environment.
The integration of F5 makes it even easier for Gilat to “intelligently manage network traffic,” including building smart monitors that sample various network components.
“Our SD-WAN MAX solution enables mobile network operators, internet service providers and enterprises across Africa to achieve more capacity from less hardware and software.
“The integration of F5’s software is one of a number of improvements we have made in response to suggestions from our customers and partners.
“We are confident that our SD-WAN MAX is the best available on the market,” said Amir Cohen, Chief Technology Officer of Gilat Telecom.
