The unglamorous ground-station pick-and-shovel play for the LEO constellation buildout, with defense and IFC kickers most investors haven't connected.
Where GILT is headed
Gilat in 2028 looks less like the legacy VSAT vendor most investors remember and more like a critical ground-segment supplier sitting at the intersection of three buildouts happening at once: LEO constellations going operational (Kuiper, Telesat Lightspeed, second-wave Eutelsat OneWeb upgrades, Chinese Guowang), in-flight connectivity going from luxury to expected on every commercial route, and defense buyers across NATO scrambling to harden mobile satcom after watching Ukraine. The 2024 Stellar Blu acquisition put Gilat inside the ESA antenna business that lets aircraft and military vehicles talk to LEO birds while moving. That is the bit that matters. Antennas, amplifiers, modems, and the cloud platform that orchestrates them are boring. They are also the part of the satellite stack you cannot skip, and the part where switching costs are real.
