Gilat Satellite Networks Ltd. received multimillion order

The Commercial Division of Gilat Satellite Networks Ltd. received a multimillion order from a large global avionics company for Sidewinder electronically steered antenna terminals, a transaction the company presented as a marker of continued demand for its Geostationary Orbit (GEO) and LEO Constellation (Low Earth Orbit) (LEO) compatible Electrical Substation Automation (ESA) technology.

The release said the order reflected ongoing momentum for the Sidewinder ESA platform and noted demand for inflight connectivity solutions that combine a low profile with a lightweight configuration.

Sidewinder ESA is designed for commercial, business, Verification IP (VIP), government, and military aviation and supports High Throughput Satellite (HTS) networks; the product description stated it enabled reliable, high-speed connectivity for passengers and crew. The release added that electronic beam steering delivered fast satellite acquisition, enhanced reliability, and reduced maintenance compared with mechanically steered antennas, and that the terminals were compatible with GEO satellites and the OneWeb Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite constellation.

The announcement specified that Gilat Stellar Blu designed the Sidewinder terminals and that Gilat’s Commercial Division booked the order for the supply of those terminals.

“Sidewinder continues to gain strong traction in the inflight connectivity market as operators and partners look for scalable, next generation antenna solutions,” said Ron Levin, President of Gilat Commercial Division. “This order reinforces Gilat’s leadership in IFC and our ability to deliver proven, high-performance technologies for todays and future aircraft.”

The release stated that certain non-historical statements were forward-looking within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and that the company undertook no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements.
