At SATELLITE 2017 Kymeta announced commercial availability for its mTennau7 satellite antenna and KyWay terminal, and will begin commercial trials in May. Kymeta also signed a strategic agreement with SKY Perfect JSAT to develop new satellite connectivity options in the Asia Pacific region, and announced a partnership with Intelsat to offer a new, groundbreaking satellite service called KALOTM – a simplified way to buy and sell connectivity that mirrors cellular data packages for customers and sectors that are currently unreached or underserved by terrestrial networks.
"Unlike traditional satellite antennas that are large, heavy and have high implementation and maintenance costs, Kymeta's mTenna technology has a small footprint and is lightweight. The technology uses electromagnetic metamaterials resulting from arranging man-made materials in such a way that they produce an electromagnetic response," said Meena Subramanian Research Analyst at Frost & Sullivan. "Kymeta's satellite antennas are electronically steered and use a holographic approach to lock the beam from satellites. This design helps it instantaneously and continually transmit signals without a drop in connection."
Kymeta is working with partners to leverage existing LCD production lines to manufacture a product that can be mass-produced. The automotive industry will benefit greatly from this technology as satellite antennas are widely deployed in consumer devices.
Kymeta's solutions benefit original equipment manufacturers (OEM) by reducing their expenditure on software recalls using the OTA update technology. "They further benefit potential customers by saving time and money, dispensing with the need to visit dealer service centers for software and service recalls and providing a better driving experience. In addition, Kymeta's solution offers huge volumes of data to support autonomous vehicles," noted Subramanian.
Because of its overall performance using spectrum and satellite, Kymeta has made a mark for itself in the compact automotive antennas market and is richly deserving of the 2016 North American New Product Innovation Award.
Each year, Frost & Sullivan presents this Award to the company that has developed an innovative element in a product by leveraging leading-edge technologies. The Award recognizes the value-added features/benefits of the product and the increased return on investment (ROI) it offers to customers, which, in turn, improves customer acquisition and overall market penetration potential.
