Petah Tikva, Israel, December 22, 2014 — Gilat Satellite Networks Ltd. (NASDAQ: GILT), a worldwide leader in satellite networking technology, solutions and services, announced today that a Telecommunications Service Provider (TSP) in Latin America selected Gilat’s High-Throughput Satellite (HTS) Multi-Spot Beam solution to provide Ka-band broadband services.

The TSP, which recently acquired five spot beams totaling 2.3 GHz of capacity, intends to use its new HTS network to provide high-speed Internet service for multiple applications such as consumer, enterprise, mobility and airborne.

According to the terms of the agreement, Gilat will provide a SkyEdge II-c hub with multiple network segments, VSAT terminals and related equipment.
