KYMETA UNVEILS FUTURE-READY MULTI-ORBIT SATCOM TERMINAL

KUALA LUMPUR, March 26 (Bernama) -- Kymeta Corporation, a flat-panel satellite terminal manufacturer, has launched its new Kestrel u5, a compact multi-orbit satellite communications (SATCOM) terminal designed for unmanned systems, national security operations, and high-speed industrial mobility.

The terminal enables seamless connectivity across multiple networks and constellations, including Low Earth Orbit (LEO), Geostationary Earth Orbit (GEO), Highly Elliptical Orbit (HEO), and elliptical orbits, allowing users to adapt to diverse mission requirements.

Built for demanding environments, the Kestrel u5 features a lightweight, low-profile, and rugged design suitable for operations on land and at sea. It supports full-duplex communication and remote upgrades, ensuring future-ready performance in rapidly evolving operational landscapes.

According to Kymeta in a statement, the terminal incorporates a no-moving-parts architecture for easy installation on unmanned vessels and next-generation vehicles.

Its durability-focused design includes shock absorption and advanced radome technology, enabling high performance even in harsh conditions, including exposure to water and extreme environments.

The Kestrel u5 is also equipped with Low Probability of Detection/Interception (LPD/LPI) capabilities, offering a low thermal signature supported by low power consumption and a passive cooling system, enhancing operational security and resilience.

Beyond defence applications, the terminal is suitable for commercial use in sectors such as rail, construction, mining, and agriculture, where it can be mounted on vehicles to deliver reliable, high-speed connectivity.

The Kestrel u5 is now available for order, with production units expected to be released within the next month, followed by broader availability as Kymeta scales production to meet demand.
