The Israeli company Gilat Satellite Networks won a contract worth millions of dollars for the supply of advanced equipment for tactical communications to the U.S. military.
The contract is for the supply of block upconverters (BUCs), which convert blocks of frequency from lower frequencies to higher frequencies. Gilat said it was the largest deployment of systems of that type in the world.
Bob Hoffman, CEO of Wavestream, said in a statement that the company is proud to “continue to support the communication needs of the U.S. military.”
The Petach Tikvah-based Gilat company supplies satellite-based broadband communications to clients internationally.
Earlier this month, Gilat announced that it had won a tender worth millions of dollars for the supply of satellite communications equipment for a large integration company that supports a client in Asia.
