The companies reported Tuesday that in demonstrations in Toulouse, France, the single aperture antenna achieved downlink and uplink speeds of more than 200 Mbps down, and more than 40Mbps up over repeated testing. They also reported the u8 offered good user experience during beam and satellite handover. <\/p>\n<p>The Kymeta u8 land mobile antenna is commercially available, and Kymeta is planning an updated version for improved compatibility with LEO networks. Neville Meijers, Kymeta chief Strategy, Product and Marketing officer talked with <em>Via Satellite<\/em> about the tests. <\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.satellitetoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/40k4KquTQwaCNWJyvIg4_VS_ShowDaily20202120Day20220DGTL_-300x225.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" style=\"width: 120px; height: auto;\" decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.satellitetoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/40k4KquTQwaCNWJyvIg4_VS_ShowDaily20202120Day20220DGTL_-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.satellitetoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/40k4KquTQwaCNWJyvIg4_VS_ShowDaily20202120Day20220DGTL_-800x599.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.satellitetoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/40k4KquTQwaCNWJyvIg4_VS_ShowDaily20202120Day20220DGTL_-640x480.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.satellitetoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/40k4KquTQwaCNWJyvIg4_VS_ShowDaily20202120Day20220DGTL_.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\">\t\t\t<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"fs-5 mt-0\">Explore the Show Daily 2021 Day 2 Issue<\/h3>\n<p class=\"mb-0 fs-smaller text-balance\">Check out more from this issue and find your next story to read.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t<button class=\"btn btn-primary\" type=\"button\" data-bs-toggle=\"offcanvas\" data-bs-target=\"#offcanvasMENU\" aria-controls=\"offcanvasExample\" aria-label=\"button\" style=\"white-space: nowrap;\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t\tView More <i class=\"bi bi-arrow-right-circle\"><\/i><br \/>\n\t\t\t<\/button><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe tested through sunshine and rain, tracking the acquisition of the actual satellite, the throughput.
