Kymeta’s new electronically steered Peregrine u8 LEO terminal is now commercially available to maritime market customers on OneWeb’s LEO network.

The Peregrine u8 LEO terminal is designed for all large vessels – from super yachts to commercial fishing and shipping vessels – that utilize OneWeb’s enterprise-grade connectivity. Kymeta said the new terminal will help customers connect just as easily and seamlessly at sea as they would on land.

Kymeta describes the new Peregrine u8 antenna as slim and energy-efficient requiring no specialized installation equipment and an installation time of hours rather than days.

“Our maritime customers have a unique set of needs, whether that be reliable cyber-security and access to real-time maintenance or connecting to the cloud and streaming their favorite show. That’s why we’ve made it our mission to develop an equally unique solution,” Kymeta President and Co-CEO Walter Berger said it a statement. “As a proud partner of OneWeb, today marks an exciting day for Kymeta because it represents the fulfillment of our joint commitment to bring to market a low-power, low-profile LEO terminal, built to elevate and modernize maritime communications.”
