Gilat Satellite Networks announced Monday that it shall supply to Koochi Communications an additional 300 Skystar 360E terminals to deliver broadband communications to SOHO and SME users in Nigeria and West Africa.

Koochi's purchase of a Gilat satellite network based solution will enable the company to deliver an efficient broadband alternative to its customers. Koochi will provide its satellite network via a shared Hub facility based in Fuchstadt Germany.

Janna Korestkaya, Associate Vice President Sales, Africa, said, "Providing access to Broadband services to SOHO and SME customers in Africa is challenging, but also achievable. This is being demonstrated by entrepreneurs such as Koochi who are actively taking steps using VSAT technology to convert what most people see as only a dream into reality."

"Koochi's rollout of Gilat's Skystar 360E VSAT is based on flexible tariff structures and a proven market strategy. End users have world class service and applications access based on our proven technology and the Koochi drive to make a difference."

According to Koochi Communication's CEO, Mr. Kelly N. Kanu, "the selection of Gilat's Skystar 360E reflects Koochi's belief in adopting best-of-breed communications solutions, which maintain a consistently proven resilience to our market environment."

"Our technical appraisal of the Skystar 360E performance is sincere, as it comes ultimately affirmed by those who inspire us - our clients. This is in many ways, reflective of a business relationship enhanced through affordable pricing & support from Gilat."

"We have expressed through our procurement & rollout of the 360E terminals, a conservative representation of our capacity to deliver - as an energetic company with a strong spirited partner in Gilat, the necessary combined momentum to impart on the West African landscape the benefits of lessened barriers to broadband internet connectivity, and the overall promotion of Information Communication Technology (ICT) development."
