Eutelsat OneWeb and Kymeta have announced the general availability of the new Kymeta™ Goshawk u8 flat-panel terminal on the Eutelsat OneWeb LEO network, a new multi-orbit terminal for government and military customers.
The terminal meets key defense needs by enabling the benefits of both GEO and LEO networks on one terminal, providing resilient, flexible multi-orbit connectivity across all operational domains. As nations boost defense spending and invest in sovereign SATCOM, the Goshawk u8 is purpose-built to deliver.
With robust and trusted communications being a top security priority, the Goshawk u8 delivers seamless connectivity from both LEO and GEO satellite networks in a single user terminal. The terminal’s rugged, low-profile design and reliable, high-bandwidth performance make it ideally suited for the evolving demands of allied nations’ defense and security sectors.
The Kymeta Goshawk u8 provides a ‘plug-and-play’ terminal, designed for use across a range of platforms, including land vehicles, maritime vessels, and fixed installations. Combining LEO, GEO, and cellular connectivity it allows for improved responsiveness to enable maneuver warfare tactics, such as rapid, focused, and unexpected actions that can shatter an enemy’s cohesion.
The Goshawk u8 delivers a critical solution with its flexible, open network architecture designed to support defense operations on the move.
In today’s contested battlespace, the ability to move, adapt, and fight without losing connectivity is non-negotiable,” said Rick Bergman, President and CEO of Kymeta. “The Goshawk u8 gives defense forces the freedom to operate across orbits with resilience and certainty, even under pressure. Kymeta remains connected with governments, special forces, and military operators to assist with providing solutions to critical defense requirements. Together with Eutelsat OneWeb, we are equipping all warfighters with the communications infrastructure they need to dominate the mission environment.”
