Gilat Selected by Sencinet for Petrobras’ Oil and Gas Industry Satellite Connectivity Project

Gilat Satellite Networks Ltd. (Nasdaq: GILT, TASE: GILT), a worldwide leader in satellite networking technology, solutions, and services, announced today that the Company was selected by Sencinet for Petrobras’ oil and gas industry satellite connectivity project.

Petrobras, Brazil’s largest oil and gas company, is modernizing and expanding its onshore/offshore telecommunications capabilities with satellite connectivity solutions powered by Gilat’s SkyEdge II-c SATCOM network.

Sencinet is deploying Gilat’s SkyEdge II-c within offshore platforms, ships, and land stations as part of the innovative managed services satellite connectivity project they are providing to Petrobras.

“Gilat’s SkyEdge II-c multi-service platform offers many advantages, such as software VNO across multiple beams that permits us to meet the stringent service-level agreement (SLA) requirements of Petrobras with high quality and optimized deployment, as well as a smooth migration from Petrobras’ legacy network,” said Jayme Ribeiro, Sales and Marketing Executive Director at Sencinet. “There is a broad market for solutions like these all across Brazil and together with Gilat we plan to accelerate our growth with companies that provide services to Petrobras, as well as with private oil and supply boat companies involved in exploration and logistics throughout the country.”

“I am pleased with the opportunity to expand and modernize Petrobras’ legacy network, helping Petrobras address today’s most demanding and complex business communication challenges,” said Michal Aharonov, Chief Commercial Officer at Gilat. “Working together with Sencinet, our valued partner in the region, we’re able to deploy Gilat’s SkyEdge II-c multi-service platform to deliver a wide range of benefits to the oil and gas industry, as well as to other important markets in Latin America.”
