Gilat Satellite Networks
Gilat secured a $28 million Peru connectivity contract plus a separate $10 million SkyEdge IV order, per Via Satellite.
what happened
Gilat Satellite Networks said its Peruvian subsidiary signed a $28 million contract with Pronatel, Peru's national telecommunications program, to upgrade broadband infrastructure in the Ica region, per the company's press release (GlobeNewswire, via Manila Times); construction is expected to complete by mid-2027, followed by a seven-year operational phase covering 116 public institutions and free Wi-Fi in 30 public squares, the fifth Peruvian region Gilat has upgraded since 2025. Separately, Gilat also booked $10 million in orders from an unnamed satellite operator for its SkyEdge IV platform, with deliveries over the next 12 months to support high-capacity networks including in-flight connectivity, per Via Satellite.
why it matters
The Peru deal extends Gilat's run of recurring government-backed connectivity contracts in Latin America, while the unnamed operator's SkyEdge IV order signals continued ground-segment demand from in-flight and high-capacity connectivity providers even as Gilat competes with satellite operators building their own in-house ground infrastructure.
