We look forward to meeting satellite operators and service providers at the show to demonstrate to them the value and quality of the broadband communication that we can provide to the Chinese market.”
At the event, Gilat will showcase its SkyEdge II-c family of products, which supports the new architecture and addresses a wide range of markets:
