Gilat Satellite Networks’ Commercial Division has received a USD 7 million order for Gilat Wavestream’s Aerostream 60W Ka-band Wideband BUCs.
They will be deployed as part of a next-gen in-flight connectivity solution to be installed on commercial aircraft, the company says, with deliveries expected over the next 24 months. The BUCs, designed to enable robust, high-speed in-flight connectivity across both LEO and GEO satellite constellations, operate in the 27.5 to 30.0 GHz range.
Gilat says the product has successfully passed the aircraft manufacturers’ line-fit certification, demonstrating Gilat Wavestream’s ability to meet the most demanding environmental, reliability, and performance standards required for commercial aviation platforms.
“We are pleased to have passed the line-fit qualification tests and to see continued adoption of our state-of-the-art Ka-band SSPAs for in-flight connectivity across LEO and GEO satellite constellations,” said Edgar Khatchatryan, President at Gilat Wavestream.
“This achievement underscores our commitment to performance, quality, and on-time delivery in support of the world’s leading aviation connectivity providers.”
