Gilat Satellite Networks has won a new connectivity deal in Peru, a country with a population of around 35 million people. Gilat Peru has signed a $14 million deal with the Regional Government of Ayacucho for the execution of a fiber-optic broadband project in southern Ayacucho under Peru’s Works for Taxes (Obras por Impuestos – OxI) program. Delivery is expected within 18 months. Gilat announced the deal, Aug. 17.
The project is expected to benefit 273 public institutions, including 236 schools and 37 healthcare facilities, serving approximately 20,000 residents across 109 localities. The project’s scope includes the deployment of more than 1,060 kilometers of optical fiber, network monitoring and management systems, local area network installations, end-user equipment, and training activities to support the adoption and operation of the new digital infrastructure.
By extending connectivity to schools, healthcare facilities and other public institutions, the project will help strengthen access to essential services while creating a foundation for future digital development in the region.
“We are pleased to continue working with Gilat on initiatives that expand connectivity and bring meaningful benefits to communities across Ayacucho. This project will help extend access to education, healthcare and other essential public services, supporting our efforts to improve quality of life and create greater opportunities for residents throughout the region,” Wilfredo Oscorima Núñez, Regional Governor of Ayacucho, said in a statement.
