LUXEMBOURG--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 26, 2018--
Intelsat S.A. (NYSE:I), operator of the world’s first Globalized Network
and leader in integrated satellite solutions, was selected by Gilat
Satellite Networks Ltd., a worldwide leader in satellite networking
technology, to support Gilat’s solutions to leading mobile network
operators (MNOs) in the United States as they accelerate their expansion
of 4G wireless services to underserved areas across North America.
Gilat will leverage Ku-band satellite services from two Intelsat
satellites to enable MNOs to execute on their expansion plans and
quickly increase network coverage to serve remote areas of the North
American market.
“Gilat is the leading LTE satellite backhaul solution provider to MNOs

availability and consistency of service that network operators require.”
“Intelsat’s Globalized Network was designed to support the broadening
connectivity requirements of MNO customers,” said Jean-Philippe Gillet,
Intelsat’s Vice President and General Manager, Broadband. “Gilat’s
selection of Intelsat is a testament to our ability to seamlessly
integrate with other technologies in a simpler manner as needed to
support MNOs as they expand service availability to rural and remote
regions, whether those are in mature markets such as the United States
or in growing markets in the developing world. We have created a clear
roadmap and solid foundation that will enable Intelsat’s market leading
satellite technology to continue to lead and serve as a backbone to the
hybrid networks of the future.”
