[Via Satellite 12-16-2015] Kymeta <\/b>and Intelsat <\/b>have successfully completed initial testing of the mobility performance of Kymeta\u2019s flat-panel antennas on Intelsat\u2019s satellite network for both maritime and automotive applications. The software-based antennas are designed to simplify the access to satellites by removing the need for mechanical components, using software to electronically point, steer and acquire the satellite signal.<\/p>\n
In the automotive portion of the test, the team embedded Kymeta\u2019s flat-panel antenna into the roof of an automobile and demonstrated the company\u2019s mTenna technology\u2019s ability to automatically acquire and track satellite signals while on the move through an 8,000-mile journey. The Ku-band antenna, compatible with traditional and upcoming High Throughput Satellites (HTS) was able to both transmit and receive signals.<\/p>\n
In maritime, Kymeta completed the build and testing of its prototype antenna, a glass-on-glass, thin-film-transistor-based antenna, with receive and transmit on the same aperture. This maritime prototype is the workhorse of Kymeta\u2019s 70cm Ku-band product and is currently being produced on existing Liquid-Crystal Display (LCD) TV display lines from Sharp<\/strong>, marking the first step towards mass-volume and low-cost attainability for Kymeta antennas.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [Via Satellite 12-16-2015] Kymeta and Intelsat have successfully completed initial testing of the mobility performance of Kymeta\u2019s flat-panel antennas on Intelsat\u2019s satellite network for both maritime and automotive applications.
