Redmond, Washington – Kymeta has begun shipping its first multi-orbit, on-the-move flat-panel satellite antennas. The Kymeta Osprey u8 HGL terminals are designed for military users and offer combined GEO/LEO/LTE connectivity.
The Osprey u8 HGL terminal is currently the first commercially available multi-orbit solution supporting Eutelsat OneWeb's LEO network. Kymeta announced the product launch in October last year and is now fulfilling a backlog of orders.
The equipment is designed to withstand challenging and rugged environments. Its features include durability, low power consumption, low visibility, and ease of use.
