UltiSat Adds New Connectivity-on-the-Move Satellite Products with Kymeta Reseller Agreement

March 21, 2022

UltiSat has entered into a value-added reseller agreement with Kymeta to deliver new mobile satellite connectivity solutions for government, humanitarian-aid, and critical infrastructure customers. The agreement enables UltiSat to combine its global satellite networking services with Kymeta’s communications-on-the-move (COTM) terminals. The next generation Kymeta™ u8 technology combines a low-profile form factor, software defined electronic beam steering, and simplified deployment resulting in reliable high-speed communications virtually anywhere in the world.

Kymeta’s antennas include electronically steerable array (ESA) technology that can be used with traditional geosynchronous (GEO) satellite networks and are LEO enabled to leverage the emerging fleets of new low Earth orbit (LEO) based satellite services. The ESA technology also enables Kymeta terminals to support fully mobile communications for vehicles, like emergency response command centers, both en-route as well as on the scene. UltiSat’s integration expertise combined with Kymeta u8 terminal technology expands mobile satellite communications options for a wide range of operating environments where traditional cellular services may be unavailable.

“The rapid evolution of satellite technology in recent years, both in orbit and on the ground, can leave some customers unsure of which solutions are best suited for their missions,” said David Myers, president and CEO of UltiSat. “At UltiSat, we independently assess emerging technologies and integrate only the right platforms with our network to provide solutions built to meet the rigors of government and industrial operations. And since the Kymeta u8 family is LEO enabled, we are providing our customers with a future proof solution that brings both operational and budgetary peace of mind.” 

“Kymeta welcomes UltiSat’s expertise in integrating new and emerging technologies. UltiSat has been at the forefront in COTM,” said Rob Weitendorf, Vice President of Business Development for Kymeta. “We look forward to working with their team to offer a clear path for GEO and LEO-capable COTM solutions to support government and emergency response clients.”
