Kymeta is rolling out a new hybrid terminal for vehicles and vessels, the Goshawk u8, the satellite hardware company announced Monday. 

Goshawk u8 is a hybrid terminal that supports Geostationary (GEO), Low-Earth Orbit (LEO), and cellular connectivity. It is the second multi-orbit, multi-network, modem-agnostic terminal in Kymeta’s product suite after the Osprey u8 HGL military terminal announced in 2023. Kymeta partners with OneWeb for LEO connectivity. 

The terminal has embedded LEO and cellular modems and Wi-Fi capabilities, and allows for a connection to an external GEO modem. The terminal also offers jamming mitigation for GNSS-denied operations. It is designed for defense forces and “other demanding industries,” Kymeta said. 

“The Goshawk u8 addresses the increasing demand for high-performance, mobile connectivity in unpredictable environments,” said Rick Bergman, Kymeta president and CEO. “With its software-defined capabilities, the Goshawk u8 ensures consistent, secure communications even in the most remote and rugged conditions.”
