Kymeta

Kymeta Corporation is a US-based satellite connectivity company founded in 2012 and headquartered in Redmond, Washington, developing flat-panel electronically steered antenna (ESA) technology using metamaterials that enables high-speed satellite internet connectivity for mobile platforms including vehicles, trains, ships, and aircraft. Kymeta's patented metamaterial surface antenna technology (MSA-T) eliminates moving parts in the antenna system, producing a low-profile, lightweight flat panel terminal that can lock onto geostationary and low Earth orbit satellites electronically rather than mechanically. The company's u8 terminal provides Ku-band satellite connectivity and the company has partnered with major satellite operators including Intelsat and Eutelsat for commercial service. Kymeta raised over $250 million in funding, with major investors including Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates (through Cascade Investment), Intelsat, Toyota Tsusho, and others. The company's technology serves military, government, and enterprise customers requiring connectivity while in motion.
