Business Units or Product Lines

Gilat Satellite Networks operates through three primary business units: Fixed Networks, Mobility Solutions, and Terrestrial Infrastructure Projects. The Fixed Networks unit focuses on satellite network infrastructure and services for broadband connectivity. The Mobility Solutions unit provides satellite-based communication for maritime, aviation, and defense sectors. Terrestrial Infrastructure Projects involve ground equipment and network management for non-satellite communications.

Business Models for Each Product Line

For Fixed Networks, Gilat generates revenue by selling hardware and software solutions and offering network operations management. Major expenses include R&D for technology development and production costs. In Mobility Solutions, revenue is captured through equipment sales and long-term service agreements, with expenses incurred in technology integration and network management. Terrestrial Infrastructure Projects generate revenue from equipment supply contracts and project-based services, with expenditures in equipment production and deployment services.

Future Opportunities for Growth

Gilat sees growth opportunities in global demand for broadband connectivity, particularly in rural and underserved markets. Expansion into the 5G backhaul and increased demand in the defense sector also present growth prospects. Partnerships with major telecommunications providers and increasing adoption of satellite-based networks for IoT applications provide further opportunities.

Potential Major Risks

Major risks include technological obsolescence and intense competition from traditional network providers and emerging satellite constellations. Dependency on a limited number of large contracts and geopolitical risks affecting international operations also pose significant concerns. Economic instability in key markets and regulatory changes affecting satellite communications could impact future performance.
