One of the world’s leading flat-panel satellite antenna companies, Kymeta announced at the AUSA 2023 Annual Meeting and Exposition the launch of the Osprey u8 HGL, a hybrid geostationary\/low Earth orbit (GEO\/LEO) terminal purpose-built for military users. <\/p>\n
Leveraging Eutelsat Group\u2019s (formally known as OneWeb) LEO satellite network, the Osprey u8 HGL is a complete, customizable solution that can be easily mounted on a wide array of military vehicles and vessels, providing connectivity on the move. This marks the first commercially available multi-orbit terminal and the first multi-orbit terminal on Eutelsat Group\u2019s LEO network. Kymeta is taking orders now, with the first shipments set to go out in early Q1 2024.<\/p>\n
This new hybrid solution builds upon Kymeta\u2019s existing portfolio of products and expertise. Kymeta\u2019s military-focused Osprey u8 GEO terminal was launched in March 2022 and is currently in use by multiple branches of the United States Department of Defense in ongoing conflicts. In January 2023, Kymeta launched the Hawk u8 LEO, followed closely by the Peregrine u8 LEO for maritime customers in March, which have both been type-approved on the LEO network, with shipments going out daily to global customers. With the Osprey u8 HGL, Kymeta will deliver truly resilient, auto-PACE-ready communications for the armed forces to meet the demands of challenging and rugged military environments. The multi-orbit capabilities of the Osprey u8 HGL will offer even greater availability, while being durable, highly customizable, low power, low visibility, and easy to use, requiring no satcom expertise.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn today\u2019s modern military environments, connectivity on the move has cemented itself as one of the critical keys to success,\u201d said Walter Berger, President and Co-CEO, of Kymeta<\/strong>. \u201cMore than any sector, the military demands truly reliable, flexible, and durable on-the-move communications to enable its operational and training requirements. Our new terminal delivers military customers the resilient communications they need by allowing them to easily switch between LEO and GEO multi-orbit networks, always ensuring availability and redundancy. With the collaboration of both Eutelsat and OneWeb, now Eutelsat Group, we\u2019re proud to continue our proven track record with the military to provide innovative, market-leading solutions.\u201d<\/p>\n Chris Moore, retired 2* RAF Officer and VP of Defence & Security at Eutelsat OneWeb<\/strong> added, \u201cEach orbit has its unique strengths, so if you combine LEO and GEO together, you get the benefits of both, especially if you create a multi-layered architecture to make them work together. It\u2019s this that will prove invaluable to armed forces, with users being able to route their data via the most optimal means.<\/p>\n \u201cBy partnering with Kymeta and its innovative terminal solutions like the Osprey u8 HGL, we can provide militaries with fast, high bandwidth, and low latency connectivity \u2013 wherever they are in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThe Kymeta Osprey u8 HGL multi-orbit on-the-move antenna is a leap forward in innovation, offering warfighters in military environments a lifeline when no other communications source might be available,\u201d said Kevin Steen, CEO of OneWeb Technologies, the U.S. proxy of Eutelsat OneWeb. \u201cWe are proud to put this innovative new LEO-GEO multi-orbit solution in the hands of our U.S. military customers, empowering them with unmatched, truly reliable, and resilient global connectivity capabilities.\u201d<\/p>\n Click here to learn about SATCOM Antenna’s from various manufacturers listed on SATNow.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" One of the world’s leading flat-panel satellite antenna companies, Kymeta announced at the AUSA 2023 Annual Meeting and Exposition the launch of the Osprey u8 HGL, a hybrid geostationary\/low Earth orbit (GEO\/LEO) terminal purpose-built for military users.
