September 23, 2014

Gilat Satellite Networks Ltd. announced today that Terabit Wave Co. Ltd., a telecommunications systems integrator located in Myanmar (formerly Burma), ordered the Company's Satcom-On-The-Move terminals - including tactical satcom units, vehicle-mounted satellite antennas and related equipment - for a Myanmar governmental agency. 

Terabit Wave placed an order for a SkyEdge II hub and terminals - incuding SatTrooper Manpacks, Raysat Satcom-On-The-Move antennas, WaveStream BUCs and associated modems - with rollout expected during the third and fourth quarters of 2014. Terabit Wave won the deal through a competitive bidding process involving leading global and local solution providers.

"The name of the game in today's communications is Mobility. Gilat's Satcom-On-The-Move solutions are especially suited for the kind of emergency operations that our client was concerned about," explained U Tay Za Tun, CEO at Terabit Wave. "We chose Gilat for its unique technology and because it is a one-stop-shop with a fully integrated solution."

"Terabit Wave needed to provide a Ku-band Satcom-On-The-Move integrated solution," added Erez Antebi, Gilat's CEO. "Our terminals answered their specifications not only for their compact, lightweight design but also because they can be set up and dismantled quickly and are easy to operate."
