Gilat Satellite Networks Ltd., a worldwide leader in satellite networking technology, solutions and services, announces that Gilat was selected to equip hundreds of boats, vessels and cruise ships with satellite communication. Gilat’s modems and transceivers successfully deployed on maritime vessels in Asia.

Broadband internet is delivered via maritime terminals that are fully integrated with Gilat’s VSATs and 4W transceivers.
