Gilat chosen by Alldean to deliver a SkyEdge II broadband satellite network to serve corporate and banking customers throughout Kenya

Petah Tikva, Israel, June 25, 2008 – Gilat Satellite Networks Ltd. (Nasdaq: GILT) today announced that it has been selected by Alldean Satellite Networks (Kenya) Limited, a leading African satellite service provider, to deliver a SkyEdge II network that will serve customers throughout Kenya.

The new network, comprising SkyEdge II IP VSATs and a SkyEdge II hub which supports multiple satellites, will initially cover sites in various parts of Kenya.. Alldean chose Gilat following the successful operation of Gilat’s SkyEdge II platform and the demonstration of the system’s ACM capabilities, among other important features.

The new network is expected to provide private networking services, including interactive data, broadband Internet access, Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) and client-server banking applications to Kenyan enterprises and financial services firms. Alldean is a long time customer of Gilat, having deployed Gilat 360e, DialAway and FaraWay VSAT networks in the past.

SkyEdge II is a standards-based system using DVB-S2 and DVB-RCS. With better efficiencies and full adaptivity for both the inbound and outbound channels, it provides higher performance that serves the growing requirements of end-users. SkyEdge II is well-suited for diverse environments including enterprises, rural networks, cellular backhaul and government network applications.

“We have worked with Gilat for many years, and are very impressed by its ability to continually meet the evolving needs of our market segments with the development of advanced technology platforms,” said Muin Malik, Director of Alldean Satellite Networks (Kenya) Limited. “We found Gilat’s SkyEdge II ACM capabilities to be the best in the market. This is of key importance, particularly when considering the current space-capacity environment.”

Nir Korman, Regional Vice President of Sales, Africa, for Gilat Network Systems, (GNS), said, “We are delighted to continue our long-term partnership with Alldean and to work together to provide a superior satellite platform that serves their growing customer base. Alldean has joined our fast-growing SkyEdge II customer base that is benefiting from the significant space-segment savings enabled by our competitive ACM capabilities, among other features.”

SkyEdge II adds new capabilities to Gilat’s industry-leading SkyEdge family of VSAT products. Gilat’s SkyEdge portfolio enables the delivery of high-quality voice, broadband data and video services. SkyEdge represents Gilat’s extensive knowledge base and field-proven product offering, acquired through two decades of experience.
