Gilat will deploy its SkyEdge II-c hub, which is capable of supporting multiple applications. Gilat’s Gemini VSATs will deliver broadband services to schools, while its Capricorn VSATs, in conjunction with its solar-powered CellEdge small cells, will extend cellular service for several leading MNOs in Ghana.

With its new network, Dizengoff Ghana will be able to meet the rural communications requirements of GIFEC as set forth by the Ghana government.
