Redmond, Washington – Kymeta has announced the commercial availability of its next-generation mobile solutions, the u8 antenna and Kymeta Connect service. The new products are intended for global defense, government, first responder, and commercial customers, offering combined satellite and cellular connectivity for broadband communications on the move.

According to Kymeta, the new solutions are designed specifically for mobility, focusing on improved performance, ease of use, and affordability. The company believes the new products will strengthen its position in both commercial and government markets.

Kymeta President and COO Walter Berger emphasized the importance of the solutions for government and military needs.
