Kymeta’s electronically steered flat-panel u8 terminal is currently serving undisclosed customers in geostationary orbit and aims to be ready for OneWeb mobility customers by mid-2022.
Kymeta’s u8 terminal can connect to satellites in geostationary orbit, low Earth orbit, and terrestrial cellular LTE networks to improve resiliency.
The commercially-available Kymeta u8 supports fixed and mobile services and has demonstrated interoperability with low Earth orbit and geostationary satellite constellations.
OneWeb has teamed with antenna manufacturer Kymeta to develop an electronically steered flat panel antenna designed to communicate with geostationary satellites using government modems and with OneWeb’s LEO satellites.
On 2021-09-07, Kymeta successfully tested its u8 broadband terminal on OneWeb’s low-Earth-orbit constellation, achieving 200 megabits per second downlink speeds.
The Kymeta contract effort aims to provide capabilities via multiple integrated platforms within an open architecture family of systems.
Kymeta has been awarded a $950,000,000 ceiling Indefinite-Delivery/Indefinite-Quantity contract for the maturation, demonstration, and proliferation of capability across platforms and domains to enable Joint All Domain Command and Control (JADC2).
The U.S. Air Force awarded indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contracts to 29 companies, including Umbra, Kymeta, Hughes Network Systems, and Hypergiant Galactic Systems.
Kymeta plans to upgrade u8 terminals so they automatically switch between geostationary satellite constellations with linear polarization and low Earth orbit constellations with circular polarization.
Kymeta’s u8 terminals support both low Earth orbit and geostationary satellite constellations.
