Global access, anywhere, anytime, while on the move -

That’s Kymeta’s vision for the future of connectivity.

Today connectivity is simply expected, yet there are many places

where access is limited. Mobile platforms and remote locations

often have limited or no access at all. Even moving outside

of major metropolitan areas can pose connection barriers.

Kymeta is removing those barriers and creating a new wave of

ubiquitous, high-speed, mobile, global connectivity.

Kymeta is leading a revolutionary change in mobile connectivity

with its first-of-a-kind antenna that can connect anything

that moves. Kymeta is delivering on the promise of what

connectivity is supposed to be. Its innovative software-enabled

metamaterials-based electronic beamforming antenna for

mobile communications opens access to satellite networks like

never before.

Changing the way the world connects

Five “Miracles”

Transmit and receive via a single aperture

Wide angle scanning and excellent beam performance

Electronically controlled pointing and polarization

Extremely low power consumption

First satellite antenna designed for

mass production

Mobile Connectivity LimitationsConnectivity: it’s an invaluable commodity that

has made the world smaller and smarter. Yet for all of its advancements and the bevy of innovation high-speed broadband has introduced, there are still tremendous barriers to overcome in order to reach uninhibited, global connectivity. Kymeta answers the questions of the two dominant constraints in the mobile communications industry: coverage and capacity.

Less than 10% of the earth is covered by 5G/4G/LTE, and the wireless spectrum it covers is incredibly expensive. Building out the infrastructure from the ground up would take billions of dollars and decades to implement. Add to this problem the number of new smartphones coming on to the network every day and the future of mobile bandwidth becomes clear: the current path is unsustainable. The narrow slice of spectrum dedicated to terrestrial mobility will be overrun.

Satellite Spectrum Opens Global Access

The good news is that there is over one thousand times more spectrum available by satellite with a global footprint. The problem is that we use most of this spectrum for fixed services because the current antenna technology cannot access this bandwidth.

Kymeta is solving this problem by replacing the current parabolic dish technology with a flat antenna that can be steered electronically and track a moving satellite from a mobile platform. As the new space race emerges with companies launching low earth orbit (LEO) and medium earth orbit (MEO) satellite constellations, Kymeta will meet this new era of mobility with best-in-class technology to unlock this potential.

Smart Satellite AntennaKymeta’s innovative use of metamaterials has

solved one of the satellite industry’s longest standing technical challenges: the need for lightweight, slim and efficient antennas that do not require mechanical components to steer toward a satellite.

Kymeta mTenna® technology is the next generation of connectivity. These smart antennas are electronically steered and software-defined. Instead of having mechanical steering components like current solutions, they use software to electronically point and steer towards a satellite; this means the antenna will auto-commission and auto-provision, allowing for rapid setup and installation.
