Gilat Receives Orders for SkyEdge Platforms

Jan. 30, 2025
SkyEdge IV and SkyEdge II-c satellite systems and services have recently earned Gilat Satellite Networks Ltd. significant orders.

As a sign of increasing global satellite communications (satcom) use, Gilat Satellite Networks Ltd. (Petah Tikva, Israel) reported receiving $9 million in orders from major satellite operators for its SkyEdge IV and SkyEdge II-c systems and services. Delivery of the hardware and services, scheduled within the next 12 months, provides satcom connectivity across multiple satellite constellations, including for cellular backhaul and maritime wireless communications. 

Regarding the SkyEdge systems (see image above), Hagay Katz, Chief Product and Marketing Officer at Gilat, said, “We are excited to support satellite operators around the world and to be a leading supplier for multi-orbit solutions.”

Katz added, “Our SkyEdge platforms were designed to meet the demands of next-generation networks, ensuring seamless multi-orbit integration. These orders underscore our dedication to innovation and our ability to empower satellite operators with the flexibility and scalability required to address diverse market needs.” 

Gilat produces a range of communications solutions, such as those targeted at multiple orbit satellite constellations with very high throughput satellites (VHTS) and software-defined satellites (SDS), for a variety of clients such as aerospace and defense, broadcast, and government use. Support of those systems includes design and development of essential components and assemblies like satellite-on-the-move (SOTM) antennas, solid-state power amplifiers (SSPAs), and block upconverters (BUCs).
