December 20, 2022
Gilat Satellite Networks Ltd.
and Intelsat are expanding their strategic
partnership with multimillion-dollar agreements to
increase in-flight connectivity (IFC) in the
Americas.
Gilat hubs deployed in the USA
and Brazil will be expanded to support increased
network capacity to address growing bandwidth
demands on Intelsat’s IFC network in the Western
Hemisphere. Gilat’s solution is already proven
worldwide as an operational system that allows
aviation service providers like Intelsat to
streamline IFC service fulfillment.
“To support even higher levels
of IFC connectivity demand by air travelers,
Intelsat is expanding its network and augmenting its
commercial aviation services in the Americas,” said
Dave Bijur, SVP Commercial at Intelsat.
“The post-COVID recovery of
in-flight connectivity continues! With this new
expansion of Intelsat’s network, our IFC solution is
helping to deliver better access to reliable, high
quality in-flight communications to a growing number
of air travelers,” said Amir Yafe, VP of Mobility &
Global Accounts at Gilat. “Working together, Gilat
and Intelsat are addressing the increased demand for
in-flight communication services all over the
world.”
