REDMOND, Wash. -- (Business Wire)
Kymeta—the communications company delivering on the promise of global,
mobile connectivity—announced today that its Kymeta Government Solutions
(KGS) division has successfully completed month-long sea trials on small
watercraft with a U.S. Government customer using Kymeta KĀLO™ satellite
internet services bundled with Kymeta KyWay™ terminals.
Leveraging Kymeta KĀLO satellite internet services, powered by the
IntelsatOne® Flex network and bundled with Kymeta KyWay terminals,
Kymeta and the U.S. Government customer worked together to test Kymeta
products and services on small boats. The trials were performed as the
vessels moved from inland waterways to distances as far as 100 miles
offshore, experiencing varying sea states and weather conditions. During
the trial period, Kymeta’s U.S. Government customer remarked on the
exceptional performance of both Kymeta’s KyWay terminal and KĀLO service.
Kymeta’s satellite connectivity data packages offer flexible options
available in 1 GB to 80 GB per month plans. “Kymeta KĀLO services
redefine government satellite connectivity,” said David Kervin, General
Manager and Vice President, Kymeta Government Solutions. “KĀLO is a
fully-provisioned, end-to-end connectivity solution which unlocks
global, mobile access for government customers who have historically not
had the flexibility, cost advantage and ease of acquisition KĀLO can
provide.” KĀLO also provides additional benefits as a non-Committed
Information Rate service. “KĀLO is ideal for training and other
applications,” continued Kervin. “It is the ideal complement to the CIR
satellite services already utilized by KGS global government customers
and easily fits within many government users credit card budgets.”
The partnership between Kymeta and Intelsat (NYSE:I) is bringing mobile
communications to places it has never been before, and unlocking new
opportunities for customers around the world. “The mission-critical work
of government customers demands fast, flexible and reliable broadband
connectivity,” said Skot Butler, President, Intelsat General
Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Intelsat. “Our partnership
with Kymeta is driven by the desire to simplify and accelerate access to
cost-effective connectivity to U.S. government customers wherever and
whenever they need it. Kymeta KĀLO services deliver an innovative
solution that can adapt to meet the emerging connectivity needs of
government customers.”
About Kymeta
What’s the missing link to connecting billions of people to high-speed
mobile access? Antennas. And Kymeta offers the world’s only
commercially-viable electronically-scanning satellite antennas and
terminals. Kymeta antennas and terminals deliver high-throughput
communications for land, sea, and air, making mobile connectivity as
available as a view of the sky. Plus, the world’s largest satellite
operator, Intelsat, has joined forces with Kymeta to deliver KĀLO global
access services that combine with Kymeta antennas and terminals to
provide revolutionary mobile connectivity. Without Kymeta mTenna™
technology, connecting and staying connected to all those new satellites
while on the move will be difficult, if not impossible.
If it moves, Kymeta will keep it connected. Anywhere.
