Gilat Satellite Networks Ltd. (Nasdaq: GILT, TASE: GILT) was awarded an approximately $3 million contract earlier this month for a multi-year SATCOM project for a national police force.
The national police force selected Gilat’s solution, which is based on the SkyEdge platform as well as a suite of services with an emphasis on reliable and secure connectivity. Gilat was chosen because of its ability to meet stringent security requirements and solve issues that had been hampering communication for years.
Gilat’s field-proven and feature-rich SkyEdge platform consists of a high-performance hub system, a family of mission-specific VSATs, and an advanced network management system. Gilat will deploy a comprehensive solution based on its SkyEdge platform and a suite of services to deliver reliable and secure connectivity to the operators.
“This award is a testament to market demand for our unique capability to provide world-class satellite connectivity in the most demanding operational environments, along with our world-renowned support and maintenance,” said Ori Naor, Gilat’s vice president of sales and business development for defense. “I am confident that this new business will lead to additional growth with this customer and will initiate the duplication of similar programs among other organizations in the public safety, military, and government sectors all over the world.”
