05 March 2024 - 11:03PM
Gilat Satellite Networks Ltd. (Nasdaq: GILT, TASE: GILT), a
worldwide leader in satellite networking technology, solutions, and
services, announced today that it was selected by Safran Passenger
Innovations for a strategic, multimillion-dollar in-flight
connectivity (IFC) program.
Gilat’s Wavestream subsidiary will develop,
qualify, and produce a new line of Ku band Power Supply Unit (KPSU)
products to support Safran’s Ku-band electronically steerable
antenna (ESA), bolstering further growth in the IFC market.
“Safran decided to work with Gilat’s Wavestream
subsidiary on this project because of their extensive experience in
building and qualifying commercial-grade aeronautical equipment for
satellite communications,” said John Andrews, Vice President,
Connectivity at Safran Passenger Innovations. “With this new
Wavestream KPSU product from Gilat, we will soon be able to expand
our product portfolio with a new ESA IFC terminal, for which we see
high demand in the market.”
“To address the burgeoning demand for built-in
IFC capabilities among the major airplane manufacturers, these new
products are designed to be line fit qualified for Boeing and
Airbus aircraft,” said Bob Huffman, Wavestream’s General Manager
and Gilat's Senior VP. “We are delighted to have been awarded this
competitive contract. We look forward to building the next
generation of IFC equipment with these new products and continuing
our industry-leading position as the premier supplier of PSUs and
SSPAs for the IFC marketplace.”
