Gilat Awarded $28 Million Contract to Expand Connectivity in Peru
Project will deliver high-speed connectivity to public institutions and communities
Petah Tikva, Israel, October 5, 2026 - Gilat Satellite Networks Ltd. (NASDAQ: GILT, TASE: GILT), a worldwide leader in satellite networking technology, solutions and services, announced today that its Peruvian subsidiary, Gilat Perú, has signed a $28 million agreement with Pronatel (Programa Nacional de Telecomunicaciones), Peru’s national telecommunications program, to upgrade broadband connectivity across the Ica region. The project’s construction is expected to be completed by mid-year 2027 followed by a seven-year operational phase.
The Ica project marks the fifth region in Peru to receive a broadband network upgrade since 2025. The upgraded network will deliver internet speeds 20 times faster than those currently available to 116 public institutions across the Ica region and provide free Wi-Fi access in 30 public squares. The upgrade will strengthen the network’s capacity to meet the connectivity needs of institutions across different locations and operating environments and support their ability to access and deliver essential digital services, including education, healthcare, and public safety. The improved network infrastructure will also provide a stronger foundation for institutions to meet the region’s evolving connectivity needs.
“This project to increase connectivity speeds in Ica will strengthen connectivity for public institutions and expand free internet access for citizens. Through PRONATEL, the Ministry of Transport and Communications continues to advance initiatives aimed at translating greater connectivity capacity into better services and opportunities for people, helping to bridge the digital divide,” said Rafael Arias Velarde, Executive Director of PRONATEL.
“Strong connectivity is essential to enabling public institutions and communities to access digital services and opportunities,” said Arieh Rohrstock, President, Gilat Peru. “Gilat Perú has built this expertise through years of deploying, upgrading and operating large-scale networks across the country. We are proud to bring that experience to Ica, strengthening the infrastructure that connects public institutions and expanding internet access for communities across the region.”
The project builds on Gilat Perú’s extensive experience deploying, upgrading and operating large-scale telecommunications networks across the country, including in rural and geographically diverse areas. Its capabilities across the lifecycle of regional networks, from deployment and modernization to ongoing operation, enable Gilat Perú to address different geographic and operational requirements and manage large-scale connectivity infrastructure across diverse environments.
