Kymeta Aims At Superyacht Market

Are you a billionaire with your million dollar yacht--and tired of those unsightly satellite communications antenna? Redmond, Washington-based satellite antenna technology developer Kymeta is hoping you might turn to the company's new technology, to tuck away those antennas and incorporate them into the superstructure of the vessel. According to Kymeta, it is in London at "Superyacht Design Week" to show designers how its flat panel satellite antennas can replace the current dome technology used in those million dollar superyachts. Kymeta uses metamaterials to electronic steer its antennas, which eliminates the mechanical designs used in current satellite antennas, which are used for Interenet and live TV access on those superyachts.
