Gilat Satellite Networks has announced that its U.S. subsidiary, Spacenet, has been selected by Scientific Games International (SGI) to provide 3,000 Skystar Advantage VSAT terminals for state lottery networks in Colorado, Pennsylvania, North Dakota and South Dakota.

Spacenet is also providing SGI with a dedicated hub, which will be used to support the expansion of its VSAT network.

Gilat's VSAT technology is firmly established as a leading solution for affordable, reliable, easily deployable connectivity for virtually any lottery location. Since 1991, Spacenet and Gilat have provided more than 32,000 VSAT terminals for use by government-authorized lotteries worldwide.

"Our extensive experience working with Spacenet on several state lotteries has resulted in fast, efficient network deployments. With Spacenet, we are confident we will receive a reliable, secure network infrastructure," said Misko Pajkovic, SGI's Senior Vice President of Networks and Communication.

Pajkovic added, "Gilat's two-way VSAT technology provides the advanced communications platform we need to provide our lottery customers with uniformly high availability at every location. Skystar Advantage's increased bandwidth capabilities and Internet Protocol (IP) support will also ensure our customers have the technology they need to deploy a wide range of interactive applications in the future."

Spacenet Executive Vice President, Sales and Marketing Christina Clifton said, "SGI's decision to deploy our technology and services on such a large scale is indicative of their trust in our organization. This deployment further demonstrates Spacenet's position as a leading provider of satellite networks to the North American lottery industry."
