An unnamed satellite operator in the Asia Pacific region has contracted Gilat Satellite Networks for $11 million for its SkyEdge platform to deliver advanced mobility services. Gilat reported the SkyEdge platform was selected for its performance in high-capacity networks, flexibility to support diverse service profiles, and ability to scale with market demands. 

Announcing the deal on Tuesday, Gilat said the platform will be deployed to deliver services over very high throughput satellites (VHTS) supporting multiple applications. Deliveries are expected over the next 12 months.

“We are proud to support this customer’s VHTS strategy with a SkyEdge platform that is purpose-built for high capacity, multi-application satellite networks,” said Ron Levin, president of Gilat Commercial Division. “This deal reflects the strong confidence operators continue to place in Gilat’s technology and our ability to deliver reliable, future-ready solutions for complex satellite environments.”
