Eutelsat OneWeb customers can now benefit from the Kymeta Goshawk u8 flat-panel terminal, a multi-orbit terminal for government and military customers. It aims to meet key defense needs by enabling the benefits of both Geostationary Orbit (GEO) and Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) networks on one terminal, providing resilient, flexible multi-orbit connectivity across all operational domains. Eutelsat OneWeb announced the availability of the terminal, May 19.

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.

Kymeta said the terminal’s rugged, low-profile design and high-bandwidth performance are a fit for the evolving demands of allied nations’ defense and security sectors.

“In today’s contested battlespace, the ability to move, adapt, and fight without losing connectivity is non-negotiable. 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,” Rick Bergman, president and CEO, Kymeta, said in a statement.
