Delivering Satcom-on-the-Move (SOTM)
Do you require a low-profile satellite solution delivering extremely high-speed internet while parked or moving from any vehicle, vessel, or fixed platform?
Then the Kymeta u8 series flat-panel satellite terminal is for you, delivering up to 5 Mbps by 2 Mbps speeds for North America, Europe, and the Middle East (view Kymeta coverage map).
We believe the u8 is the only commercially viable SOTM VSAT antenna in existence, and it’s truly powerful, delivering high-speed internet on the move, with no moving parts in the antenna (nothing to stow, far easier to maintain).
Simple Operation
Operation is as easy as providing power to the terminal and turning it on. The satellite system will automatically lock on satellite and create a wireless hotspot (or Ethernet) for very high-speed Internet.
No other interaction is needed and there is no special licensing or certification required to operate. And since there are no moving parts, there is nothing to deploy stow or maintain… Simply drive off.
- All-weather design for mounting on any mobile or fixed surface.
- No moving parts. Nothing to deploy or stow means far fewer maintenance issues.
- Simply turn it on for high-speed connectivity.
- High-speed internet up to 5Mbps x 2Mbps in-motion or while parked.
- Low-Profile. Mount high-speed internet on vehicles/trucks/RVs that need the speed.
- No certification or licensing required. May be used and operated by anyone.
- No certified installer required for installation and activation.
