McLean, VA, January 11, 2012—Spacenet Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Gilat Satellite Networks Ltd. (Nasdaq: GILT) and a leading provider of managed network services, will be showcasing its full suite of communication network solutions for retailers at the National Retail Federation’s Big Show at the Jacob H. Javits Convention Center in New York, January 16-17, 2012.
Spacenet manages and optimizes communications networks for many of the country’s largest retailers. These clients typically have hundreds or thousands of stores spread across a wide geographic area and include a wide variety of broadband, wired and wireless technologies. Spacenet helps retailers deploy the tools and technology needed to enhance point of sale (POS), accelerate customer check-out and enable real-time inventory control as well as gift card and loyalty programs, self-checkout initiatives, video surveillance and more.
In booth #2837, Spacenet executives will discuss the need of retailers with geographically dispersed locations for broad, fast, secure and reliable connectivity, while simultaneously achieving a lower total cost of network ownership. Spacenet’s “Path to Network Nirvana” theme at this year’s show represents the peace of mind Spacenet’s 24/7 managed network services brings retailers.
Spacenet’s managed services provide retailers the crucial prerequisites for the next-generation retail network including:
“Today’s retailers face an ever increasing demand for bandwidth, availability, accessibility, and vault-tight network security,” said Glenn Katz, Spacenet’s CEO. “A shifting landscape of network providers and a challenging economy make satisfying these demands exceptionally difficult. Our tiered service offerings provide customers with a clear and systematic approach to network services that frees the retailer’s internal staff to focus on core business initiatives and helps anticipate and harness technological innovation as a competitive advantage.”
Also in booth # 2837, Vector Security, a loss prevention provider offering a wide array of interactive security products and services, will discuss how a combined Vector Security/Spacenet solution creates one point of accountability for retailers and provides proactive monitoring and support through Virtual Private Networks (VPNs), compliance services and secured hosting.
