Gilat Satellite Networks Ltd. announced that Gilat received a follow-on 6 year order for over $10 million from Internet Para Todos (IPT) to deliver Cellular Backhaul services across rural areas in Peru. IPT is a sustainable global collaborative initiative between Telefonica, Meta, IDB Invest and The Latin America Development Bank (CAF) to bridge the digital divide in Latin America under a sustainable model that would allow them to overcome the obstacles of bringing connectivity to rural and geographically complex areas. Building on previous contracts, Gilat will enhance its 4G Cellular Backhaul services with IPT over terrestrial networks across the 700 sites in six regions that Gilat operates across Peru and 100 new sites in the Peruvian jungle.

This improvement will provide access to high-speed terrestrial connectivity to over 1 million more people living in rural areas.
