Thank you, Adi. Good morning and good afternoon to everyone. I would like to remind everyone that our financial results are presented in both GAAP and non-GAAP basis. We regularly use supplemental non-GAAP financial measures internally to understand, manage and evaluate our business and to make operating decisions. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide consistent and comparable measures to help investors understand our current and future operating performance. Non-GAAP financial measures mainly exclude the effect of stock-based compensation, amortization of purchase intangibles, lease incentive amortization, litigation income or expenses income related to trade secrets claims, restructuring and reorganization costs, merger, acquisition and related litigation income or expenses, impairment of held-for-sale assets, other expenses, income tax effects on adjustments, one-time changes of deferred tax assets and one-time tax expense related to the release of historical track trust earnings. The reconciliation table in our press release highlights this data and our non-GAAP information presented exclude these items. I will now move to our financial highlights for the second quarter of 2023. Overall, as Adi mentioned earlier, we are very pleased with the strong second quarter of 2023. We’re reporting a 22% year-over-year growth in revenue and an improvement in profitability. Non-GAAP gross margin was 38% and our adjusted EBITDA reached $9.2 million, higher by 74% compared to Q2 last year. Given the strong performance in H1 2023 and the robust pipeline we see ahead of us, we decided to increase our revenue targets for the year, as well as our GAAP operating profit and adjusted EBITDA guidance, which I will cover later. In terms of our financial results. Revenues for the second quarter were $67.6 million, 22% higher than those of the second quarter of last year. The improvement was driven by growth in the Satellite Network segment, mainly from the in-flight connectivity, cellular backhaul and enterprise verticals. In terms of revenue breakdown by segments, Q3 revenues of the Satellite Network segment were $40.7 million, compared to $26.9 million in the same quarter last year. The significant increase mainly resulted from large deals delivered this quarter to our strategic customers in the in-flight connectivity market, as well as a high volume with our enterprise as cellar backhaul customer base. Q2 2023 revenues of the Integrated Solutions segment were $12.7 million, compared to $15.7 million in the same quarter last year. Q2 2023 revenues of the Network Infrastructure and Services segment were $14.2 million, compared to $12.9 million in the same quarter last year. I would now like to summarize our second quarter both GAAP and non-GAAP results. Our GAAP gross margin in Q2 2023 grew to 37.8%, compared to 35.6% in the same quarter last year. The improvement in our gross margin was mainly due to a particularly favorable product and services revenue mix recognized this quarter, the high level of revenue. Please be aware that the revenue margins and profitability may fluctuate between quarters as an outcome of the actual revenue, volume and filming. GAAP operating expenses in Q2 2023 were $20.1 million in the quarter or 30% of revenue, compared with $18.3 million or 33% of revenue in the same quarter last year. GAAP operating income for the quarter improved to $5.5 million, compared to $1.5 million in the same quarter last year. GAAP net income in the second quarter was $4.3 million or diluted earnings per share of $0.08. This is compared to a GAAP net income of $0.5 million or diluted earnings per share of $0.01 in the same quarter last year. Moving to the non-GAAP results. Our non-GAAP gross margin in Q2 2023 improved to 37.9%, compared to 35.6% in the same quarter last year. Non-GAAP operating expenses in Q2 2023 were $19.6 million, compared with $17.4 million in the same quarter last year. And non-GAAP operating income for the quarter improved to $6.1 million, compared to $2.4 million in the same quarter last year. Non-GAAP net income in the second quarter was $4.9 million or diluted earnings per share of $0.09. This is compared with a non-GAAP net income of $1.4 million or diluted earnings per share of $0.03 in the same quarter last year. Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $9.2 million, an improvement of 74%, compared with an adjusted EBITDA of $5.3 million in the same quarter last year. Moving to our balance sheet. As of June 30, 2023, our total cash and cash equivalents, including restricted cash, were $87.8 million, compared with $89.7 million on March 1, 2023, and compared to $71.5 million as of June 30, 2022. We do not hold any debt. The decline in cash compared to the previous quarter was due to a voluntary payment of $10.3 million for the release of historical tax cost earnings, which completed a total one-time payment of approximately $12.5 million for that purpose. The company chose to take advantage of the temporary Israeli tax relief that expired in November 2022 and to pay significantly reduced tax rate to allow in the future certain actions such as distribution of dividends, share buyback or acquisition of foreign companies without paying an additional substantial corporate tax. In terms of cash flow, we generated $2 million from operating activities during the second quarter of 2023. Excluding the mentioned $10.3 million one-time tax payment, we generated about $12.3 million from operating activities this quarter. DSOs, which excludes receivable and revenues of our terrestrial network construction project in Peru were 63 days, lower than previous quarter DSO, which were of 77 days. The decrease was impacted by an increase in revenues, alongside the decrease in receivables due to a higher collection in the quarter. Our shareholders’ equity as of June 30, 2023 totaled about $255 million, compared with $250 million at the end of March 2023. Looking ahead, as I already mentioned, we’ve increased our revenue guidance, GAAP operating income and EBITDA guidance for the year. Our expectations are even stronger than previously anticipated and show strong three with revenue of between $265 million to $285 million, representing a year-over-year growth of 15% at the midpoint. GAAP operating income of between $18 million to $22 million, representing year-over-year growth of 101% at the midpoint. And adjusted EBITDA of between $33 million to $37 million, representing year-over-year growth of 39% at the midpoint. That concludes my financial review. I would now like to open the call and we’ll be happy to take your questions. Operator, please?
