“We are extremely pleased with the results of these flight tests,” said Hagay Katz, Chief Product and Marketing Officer at Gilat.
Gilat Satellite Networks Ltd., a leading global provider of satellite-based broadband communications, has announced the successful completion of a series of test flights featuring its ESR-2030Ku electronically steered antenna (ESA). The company collaborated with Gogo, which will be the exclusive distributor of the antenna for the business aviation and defense markets. The tests conducted on the OneWeb Low Earth Orbit (LEO) network showcased the outstanding performance of the ESR-2030Ku, which delivered full-duplex connectivity with throughput of 195 Mbps downlink and 32 Mbps uplink. The terminal remained stable and reliable throughout the tests, even in demanding performance scenarios. Key Highlights of the ESR-2030Ku:
• **Compact and Low-Power Design**: The ESR-2030Ku is a unique compact and low-power full-duplex aero ESA built for the OneWeb network. • **Full-Duplex Connectivity**: The antenna delivers full-duplex connectivity with a throughput of 195 Mbps downlink and 32 Mbps uplink. • **Reliability and Stability**: The terminal remained stable and reliable throughout the tests, even in demanding performance scenarios. The ESR-2030Ku is designed for mobility and engineered for efficiency. With the superior performance of the ESR-2030Ku, Gilat is expanding its portfolio of market-leading electronically steered antennas, which now includes both the ESR-2030Ku and the Stellar Blu Sidewinder.
- Production hardware delivery to support customer STCs (Satellite Technology Certificates) is expected later in 2025.
- Gilat will continue to capitalize on the fast-growing, multi-billion-dollar market for LEO-based ESA solutions in the Defense and In-Flight Connectivity sectors.
Gilat’s CEO believes that the ESR-2030Ku will play a significant role in the company’s expansion into the LEO-based ESA solutions market. The company is well-positioned to capitalize on the growing demand for high-speed connectivity in the Defense and In-Flight Connectivity sectors. About Gilat
