Gilat Satellite Networks Said Gilat DataPath Received Over $32 Million for DKET Systems
Summary
Gilat Satellite Networks Ltd. said its Gilat DataPath unit received an order exceeding $32 million from the U.S. Department of War for DKET systems. The company said the platforms are designed for rapid transport and deployment at alternate locations.
The order extends Gilat DataPath’s DKET activity and supports Gilat Defense’s work in U.S. mission-critical communications programs. Gilat said the DKET platforms help customers maintain continuity of operations and restore high-capacity communications in dynamic operational environments.
Gilat described the DKET systems as operating across Ku, Ka and X-band networks. The company said deliveries were expected over the next 12 months.
Nicole Robinson, President of Gilat DataPath, said, “This award demonstrates the increasing importance of relocatable ground infrastructure in modern defense communications,” and added, “When critical connectivity needs to be established or restored quickly and reliably, mobility becomes a strategic advantage. Our proven transportable gateway solutions give customers the flexibility to rapidly enable and sustain communications wherever operational requirements demand.” Gilat also said the order supports its growth in strategic defense communications programs across the U.S. and allied markets.
Gilat’s statement included forward-looking language under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, describing that results could differ from expectations and that Gilat undertakes no obligation to update forward-looking statements except as required by law.
