Kymeta Announces Commercial Availability of KALO™ Mobile Internet Access Services
Kymeta-the communications company making good on the promise of global,
mobile connectivity-and Intelsat (News - Alert) S.A. (NYSE:I)-operator of the world's
first globalized network-have announced that Kymeta KALO internet access
is now available with broad initial geographic coverage. Kymeta is
redefining how satellite services are purchased with KALO internet
services, and making mobile communications as easy to buy as a mobile
phone plan.
KALO internet services, powered by the IntelsatOne® Flex network,
deliver broad connectivity when paired with the world's only
commercially available flat panel, electronically-steered satellite
terminals from Kymeta as well as other satellite terminal solutions.
Kymeta™ KyWay™ terminals and mTennau7 antenna subsystem
modules open new markets for the satellite industry and allow
organizations that require high-bandwidth mobile internet access to do
business while on the move. For sectors that have traditionally had
difficulty accessing reliable, affordable internet in the past-connected
cars, renewable energy, commercial fishing, rail, bus and more-KALO
provides a one-of-a-kind solution.
"With KALO, Kymeta delivers up to 4 Mbps mobile internet service in
familiar by-the-gigabyte plans," said Dushyant Sukhija, Senior Vice
President and General Manager, KALO Business Unit, Kymeta. "The release
of KALO marks a revolutionary change in the way satellite services are
purchased and supplied. KALO services provide a scalable, flexible,
high-performance, high-throughput network with a broad geographic
footprint, and we make that happen with service packages that are as
easy to buy as a cell phone plan."
The partnership between Kymeta and Intelsat is bringing mobile
communication to places it has never been before. "Users are demanding
connectivity that could not be delivered with traditional networks,"
said Mark Rasmussen, VP and General Manager, Mobility, Intelsat. "Our
investment in Kymeta was driven by the desire to simplify and accelerate
access to cost-effective connectivity, pairing a groundbreaking global
satellite network wih a groundbreaking satellite terminal. KALO is
proof that our technology and business model innovations are unlocking
new and larger applications."
KALO is perfect for situations where companies need to have consistent
OPEX (News - Alert) pricing for their global mobile and fixed internet services.
Initial KALO deployments include fixed environments like construction
sites, on-the-pause environments like RVs, and mobile environments like
trains and smaller maritime vessels. Customers-including the renewable
energy industry service specialists at FMC GlobalSat-conducted
pre-availability evaluations of KALO and saw the difference firsthand.
"Kymeta mTenna™ technology with KALO internet services make sense for
the renewable energy industry, and for any other industry in need of
high bandwidth mobile communications," said Adam Ferguson, Chief
Technology Officer, FMC GlobalSat. "We were able to commission KALO
remotely to a KyWay terminal we had deployed in the field. I've worked
in the power and telecommunications industries for more than a decade
and this is the easiest service provisioning and commissioning process I
have ever experienced. KALO internet services open up a world of
possibilities that were not possible until now."
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 KALO 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.
