Gilat (NASDAQ: GILT) announced a successful demonstration of a patent-pending, AI-based interference detection and cancellation technology for satellite communication links. The solution uses advanced AI signal processing on standard edge AI NPU hardware and reportedly achieved up to a 10x improvement in interference detection and cancellation versus conventional techniques.
According to Gilat, the tests showed challenging non-cooperative and non-static interference could be cancelled while keeping the signal of interest virtually unaffected, with only negligible quality degradation. The company plans to demonstrate the technology on dedicated AI accelerator hardware to enable low-power edge deployment in operational satellite terminals.
