Gilat and Intelsat to bring greater inflight connectivity to the Americas
Gilat Satellite Networks has expanded its strategic partnership with Intelsat to increase in-flight connectivity (IFC) in the Americas.
The network capacity of Gilat’s hubs in the USA and Brazil will be expanded to support increased network capacity to address growing bandwidth demands on Intelsat’s IFC network in the Western Hemisphere.
In a December 20 press release, Amir Yafe, VP of Mobility & Global Accounts at Gilat stated that, “The post-COVID recovery of in-flight connectivity continues! With this new expansion of Intelsat’s network, our IFC solution is helping to deliver better access to reliable, high quality in-flight communications to a growing number of air travelers.”
Yafe added that, “Working together, Gilat and Intelsat are addressing the increased demand for in-flight communication services all over the world.”
