Offering a complete and customized solution, the u8 MIL features Military Standard (MIL-STD) shock mounts, military-specific connectors and wiring, a rugged shroud with expansion capabilities, and Chemical Agent Resistant Coating (CARC) in a weatherproofed radome. Kymeta’s u8 MIL hybrid terminal is designed to meet MIL-STD-810 and MIL-STD-461, contains embedded expansion capabilities for radio over internet protocol (RoIP) and software-defined networking in a wide area network (SD-WAN) and edge computing, maintains internal and external modem support, and has embedded modem(s) that are field upgradeable.

Kymeta Connect™ packages offer full-service connectivity solutions for u8 MIL hybrid terminals. Satellite Broadband by-the-gigabyte packages are available from Kymeta with either satellite or hybrid satellite/cellular capacity. TRANSEC services are also offered for the u8 MIL hybrid terminal.

Our new u8 MIL hybrid terminal is tailored specifically for military users, providing them with a rapid-deployment solution and the fastest out-of-the-box communication anywhere.”

The announcement comes just less than two months after Kymeta was awarded placement on an Indefinite-Delivery/Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) with a $950M ceiling from the Department of Defense as part of a multiple award multi-level security effort to provide development and operation of systems as a unified force across air, land, sea, space, cyber, and electromagnetic spectrums.
