Gilat Expands Mexico Project with Contract for an Additional 8,500 Site VSAT Network

PETAH TIKVA, Israel, May 9, 2006/Satnews Daily/ — Mexico’s Integradores de Tecnología has selected Gilat Satellite Networks Ltd. (Nasdaq: GILT) to provide an 8,500-site SkyEdge VSAT network serving 17,500 Mexican public-school classrooms, as part of the Mexican Ministry of Education’s (SEP) Enciclomedia program. Gilat said the deployment of the network hub and terminals has already begun.

Earlier this year, Gilat announced it had also been selected by a consortium of leading Mexican technology firms to provide a network of nearly 7,000 SkyEdge VSATs. When combined with the new contract, the total number of Mexican classrooms to be connected via SkyEdge will grow to approximately 33,000.

Gilat said it will supply Integradores with SkyEdge VSATs to monitor the operation and usage of the Enciclomedia program. In addition, Gilat has selected GlobalSat, one of Mexico’s largest Internet Service Providers, as its subcontractor, to service the SkyEdge hub and deliver broadband Internet access.

Integradores’ General Manager Oscar Perez Martinez said the platform’s space-segment efficiency will ensure the most economical usage possible.
