Flat-panel satellite antenna technology company Kymeta is now taking orders for its Goshawk u8 user terminal, designed specifically for government and the global ministry of defence.
The company says with the growing need for satellite network flexibility and open network architecture that ensure secure, sovereign defence operations, the Goshawk u8 offers a critical solution at a time when allied nations are prioritising secure, resilient, and rapidly deployable communications on the move.
The Kymeta Goshawk u8 delivers flexible, multi-orbit, multi-network satellite communications in a single terminal. Combining low Earth orbit and geostationary orbit satellite technologies alongside cellular connectivity, it allows for improved responsiveness to enable manoeuvre warfare tactics, such as rapid, focused and unexpected actions that can shatter an enemy’s cohesion.
“The Goshawk u8 comes at a time of heightened global demand for trusted, sovereign communications solutions, as governments, including the DoD and defense organisations, look to strengthen operational resilience amid an increasingly complex security landscape,” said Kymeta CEO Rick Bergman.
The Goshawk u8, which is easy to install and engineered for mobility, is a fully customisable, compact and lightweight solution that integrates effortlessly across diverse vehicles and vessels. It provides reliable, network-redundant connectivity on the move to meet mission-critical demands and real-time operations for multinational defence operations.
The new antenna provides jamming mitigation for GNSS-denied operations, integrating with existing networks. It supports high-bandwidth applications, enabling global defence units to access video streaming, data transmission and voice communication with minimal interruptions, even in remote or mobile scenarios.
The electronically steered antenna has a user-friendly interface making connectivity quick and easy and its metamaterial casing and compact, lightweight profile improves durability and reliability in harsh conditions.
As Kymeta accelerates its global expansion, it is set to push the boundaries of its product portfolio. The company says the Goshawk u8 is part of this.
