The Solution Reflects Integration of Gilat's Advanced
       Capabilities in Modems, BUCs and On-The-Move Antennas

PETAH TIKVA, Israel, Nov. 30, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Gilat Satellite
Networks Ltd. (Nasdaq:GILT) today announced the introduction of a
satcom-on-the-move (SOTM) solution for airborne applications, featuring
a very small Ku-band broadband antenna customized for airborne use.

"Gilat's strategy which led to the acquisition of Wavestream and RaySat
Antenna Systems has enabled us to produce a fully integrated solution
that benefits from the combined core competencies and technological
advancement of the three companies," said Moshe (Chico) Tamir, Gilat's
Vice President of Defense and Homeland Security. "Our integrated
solution, featuring what we believe is the industry's smallest and most
lightweight antenna in its category, is optimal for the defense and
military markets as it addresses the critical need for reduced weight
in order to increase the endurance of unmanned aerial vehicles."

The solution is comprised of Gilat's MLT-1000 ruggedized spread
spectrum satellite modem, RaySat Antenna Systems' SR-71 -- a two-way,
on-the-move, flat panel tracking antenna, and Wavestream's compact 40W
Ku-band block up-converter (BUC) and power amplifier, part of the
AeroStream(TM) airborne product family, all of which have been tightly
integrated to produce a lightweight, compact and low-power terminal
that is ideal for airborne applications.

RaySat Antenna Systems' SR-71 is a very compact and lightweight
broadband mobile antenna. Part of the StealthRay(TM) family of
products, it includes a 6 inch broadband array which tracks any Ku-band
satellite position. The SR-71 can support high broadband user
experience of up to 1 Mbps transmit and 2 Mbps receive.

The MLT-1000 supports very low SNR (signal to noise ratio) of -13dB,
optimally integrating with the small dimensions of the SR-71 antenna.
Complementing the solution is a 40W BUC that delivers high output-power
with low power-draw in a compact and lightweight enclosure.

Gilat recently conducted a successful live paid demonstration of the
terminal showcasing high performance transmissions of IP data and video
communications.
