Gilat Satellite Networks, a developer and manufacturer of satellite networking technologies, has announced that it has received US$39 million in orders from an unnamed “leading satellite operator” for additional Sidewinder electronically steered antenna (ESA) in-flight connectivity terminals.
The contract includes both linefit and retrofit installations of the multi-orbit terminals, with deliveries expected over the next 12 months.
“Demand for high-performance ESA terminals continues to grow as airlines seek quality multi-orbit connectivity solutions that provide seamless broadband across geographies and satellite constellations,” said Ron Levin, president of Gilat Commercial. “The Sidewinder ESA provides the efficiency, flexibility and reliability required by aviation customers.”
