Kymeta announces commercial availability of mTennau7 satellite antenna and KyWay™ terminal, and begins taking product reservations at SATELLITE 2017

WASHINGTON, March 7, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Kymeta announced today, at SATELLITE 2017, that the mTennau7 – the world's first, electronically scanned satellite antenna that can be used extensively across mobile and fixed platforms will begin commercial trials in May. Kymeta is currently taking commercial reservations for the mTennau7 satellite antenna and KyWay terminal.

Kymeta mTenna® technology replaces traditional satellite dish technology with light, thin, software-steered antennas specifically designed for mobile communications. The satellite industry has been waiting for an electronically steered antenna to bring the massive capacity available via satellite to the mobile communications market. This is the first time a technology with this capability will be available.

The Kymeta mTennau7 ASM and KyWay Terminal will make satellite spectrum viable for mobile communications where it has never been possible before. High-throughput connectivity will now be available to a broad range of markets including maritime, rail, VIP and Civilian Armored Vehicles (CAV), energy and more. The range of uses and markets Kymeta will bring to bear will impact both the satellite and communications industries.

"iDirect has been a leader in the mobile satellite communications market for over two decades and we have been waiting for a technology like this to enable and expand satellite connectivity into new markets," said David Harrower, Vice President of Business Development, VT iDirect. "At iDirect we are proud to be the first modem partner, working with Kymeta to support their innovative KyWay Terminal with a trusted solution that also supports Kymeta KĀLO™ connectivity services through the IntelsatOne® Flex network."

Kymeta mTenna technology delivers a low profile, lightweight, small footprint, metamaterials based Ku-band antenna with several advanced features including:

  • Electronic RF beam-steering in manual or automatic modes with polarization selection and angle control, with absolutely no moving parts.
  • Satellite auto-acquisition and tracking with communication through a standardized application programming interface (API).
  • Weather-facing flat radome eliminating the bulky legacy radome, reducing weight and complexity for easy maintenance and installation.
  • Supports transmit and receive operations on a single aperture with low power consumption.
