Gilat Satellite Networks received more than $10 million in orders for transceivers to support in-flight connectivity for a large global aerospace system integrator. 

Gilat announced the deal for its U.S.-based subsidiary Wavestream on Monday. The integrator ordered Gilat’s Ka-band AeroStream transceivers, which enable IFC. More than 3,000 Wavestream units are now operating on commercial and business aviation aircraft worldwide.

“We are pleased to fulfill the burgeoning demand of our longtime trusted partner who, for years, has continued to rely on our Ka-band transceiver solution for in-flight connectivity,” said Bob Huffman, Wavestream’s general manager and Gilat’s senior VP. 

Gilat recently said it is making gains in the IFC market this year and expects to post double-digit revenue growth this year.
