Briefing

What Hype is tracking

  • Kymeta has scheduled first prototypes this year and set a 2027 target for product availability, marking a near‑term timeline for multi‑band, multi‑orbit single‑aperture user terminals.

  • The work builds on Kymeta's multi‑band metasurface development with JDI, which targets concurrent Ku/Ka operation and flatter, electronically steered apertures (source:1062da77-c97e-4005-a9ff-59aa17b541c1).

  • The announcement sits alongside other terminal innovation efforts — including an in‑orbit lasercom demo for smallsats — highlighting parallel development of advanced RF and optical user terminals (source:330c7a8a-e9d7-41dc-8ae0-eb2c0b7301c4).
