Kymeta KYWAY U7 16W with iDirect Modem V1.0 (limited quantities)
The Kymeta KYWAY U7 16W is a low-profile, electronically steered Ku-band satellite terminal designed to provide broadband connectivity while stationary or on the move. Featuring Kymeta's flat-panel metamaterial antenna, a 16 Watt Block Upconverter (BUC), and an integrated iDirect modem, it delivers reliable satellite internet without the moving parts found in traditional VSAT antennas.
Designed for vehicles, vessels, emergency response units, government agencies, military operations, and remote field teams, the KYWAY U7 provides dependable connectivity across a wide range of mobile applications. Its automatic satellite acquisition, rugged construction, and streamlined installation make it well suited for organizations that require broadband communications wherever their operations take them.
Satellite Phone Store provides expert guidance, fast shipping, and compatible airtime plans to help organizations deploy reliable mobile satellite internet solutions for land and maritime operations.
Description
Broadband Connectivity on the Move
The KYWAY U7 is engineered to maintain broadband satellite connectivity while vehicles or vessels are in motion. Unlike conventional mechanically steered antennas, the electronically steered flat-panel antenna continuously tracks satellites without motors or gimbals, reducing maintenance while improving reliability in demanding environments.
Its Ku-band architecture supports broadband applications such as secure VPN access, cloud services, video streaming, VoIP communications, remote monitoring, and operational data transfer.
Flat-Panel Design with No Moving Parts
Kymeta's metamaterial beamforming technology electronically steers the antenna beam instead of physically rotating the antenna. This allows for a much lower installation profile while eliminating many of the wear points associated with traditional stabilized satellite antennas.
The result is a quieter, lower-maintenance system that remains operational over rough roads, open water, and challenging terrain.
Designed for Mobile Operations
The KYWAY U7 is suitable for both mobile and fixed deployments across numerous industries, including:
- Emergency response and disaster recovery
- Government and defense communications
- Public safety vehicles
- Commercial trucking and fleet operations
- Maritime vessels
- Broadcast and media vehicles
- Remote construction sites
- Oil, gas, and mining operations
Automatic satellite acquisition allows operators to establish connectivity quickly after powering on, minimizing setup time in the field.
Integrated iDirect Modem
This configuration includes an iDirect modem, providing compatibility with supported satellite service providers and simplifying system deployment. The modem works with the electronically steered antenna to deliver reliable broadband connectivity for both fixed and mobile applications.
Gigabit Ethernet connectivity allows the terminal to integrate easily into existing vehicle, vessel, or site networks.
Built for Demanding Environments
The outdoor antenna is designed for continuous operation in harsh environments with an IP66-rated enclosure and support for wide operating temperatures. The rugged construction is intended to withstand vibration, shock, dust, rain, and marine conditions commonly encountered during field deployments.
