Gilat Satellite Networks has announced that its Peruvian subsidiary, Gilat Perú, has been awarded approximately $60 million in orders from Pronatel (Programa Nacional de Telecomunicaciones), Peru’s national telecommunications program. The orders are for upgrading the Regional Broadband infrastructure across the regions of Apurímac, Huancavelica and Ayacucho. Migration is expected to take place over the next 12 months and the service will be delivered over 4 years.
This major infrastructure modernization will bring high-speed internet of 200 Mbps directly to nearly 800 public institutions, including schools, health centers, and police stations across 280 localities. The award marks a significant step forward in closing the digital divide and empowering rural communities in Peru with the connectivity they need to access education, healthcare, and public services, laying a strong, scalable foundation for future bandwidth growth in rural areas that need it most.
The project reflects Gilat’s continued partnership with the Peruvian State and long-standing commitment to digital access for all, strengthening public services in some of the most remote areas of Peru.
“With extensive experience implementing complex connectivity projects throughout Peru, we are uniquely qualified to carry out this critical migration in record time,” said Arieh Rohrstock, Corporate Senior Vice President and President, Gilat Peru. “Together with Pronatel, we’re advancing our shared goal of increasing digital inclusion in the most remote regions of the country by delivering the high-speed infrastructure needed to support essential public services.”
It’s remarkable that Gilat has taken on such a significant project in Peru. Bringing high-speed internet to rural communities can transform lives by improving education, healthcare, and public safety. Initiatives like this highlight the importance of equal access to technology—just as every player in Stickman Hook starts with the same chance to succeed, this project promotes true digital inclusion.
It's truly impressive that Gilat has undertaken such a major project in Peru. High-speed internet, which contributes to education, health, and security in rural areas, would make a huge difference. Developments like these remind us that everyone has the right to access technology. Just as every player in the game of basketball legends has an equal opportunity, this project strengthens digital equality.
