Gilat Satellite Networks Ltd. secured an approximately $11 million contract for its SkyEdge software‑defined platform from a leading satellite operator in the Asia‑Pacific region. The order will deploy SkyEdge across Very High Throughput Satellites (VHTS) and is slated for delivery over the next 12 months.
The deal expands Gilat’s footprint in the rapidly growing VHTS market and underscores the demand for its cloud‑native, multi‑orbit solution that manages traffic across GEO, MEO, and LEO constellations from a single system. By adding this contract, Gilat strengthens its recurring software licensing and maintenance revenue stream, a key element of the company’s transition from hardware‑centric sales.
In context, the $11 million order represents a modest but meaningful addition to Gilat’s revenue base. The company reported $78.1 million in revenue for Q4 2024 and $305.4 million for the full year, while Q3 2025 revenue rose 58% to $117.7 million and the company raised its full‑year 2025 guidance. The new contract therefore contributes to the company’s momentum and supports its broader growth strategy.
Ron Levin, President of Gilat’s Commercial Division, said the deal “reflects the strong confidence operators continue to place in Gilat’s technology and our ability to deliver reliable, future‑ready solutions for complex satellite environments.” The quote highlights the operator’s trust in SkyEdge’s capabilities and the company’s focus on high‑capacity, multi‑application networks.
The market reacted positively to the announcement, indicating investor confidence in Gilat’s continued demand for its software‑defined solutions and its expanding presence in the Asia‑Pacific satellite market.
The contract signals that Gilat’s strategic pivot toward software licensing is resonating with customers and positions the company for further growth in the high‑throughput satellite sector.
