Engineered for ultra-compact deployment and designed with multi-network compatibility, the Kestrel u5 is the most versatile and compact terminal in our line of extensively field-proven connectivity products. Kymeta’s proprietary pointing and tracking technology ensures best-in-class connectivity on the move, whether on land or at sea. And its water-shedding design and industry-leading durability make it a perfect choice for demanding applications like commercial rail and unmanned vehicles and vessels (UXVs).
The Kymeta Kestrel™ u5 is a sleek, powerful and durable terminal, designed for today and ready for the challenges of tomorrow. Our metamaterial-based beamforming delivers clear advantages, including wide-angle coverage for difficult look angles. And with zero moving parts, Kymeta terminals are inherently resistant to shock and vibration, maintaining connectivity in rough conditions while minimizing mechanical wear.
Trains moving between populated areas often lose cellular coverage, making it difficult for operators to maintain real-time communication and for passenger services to provide consistent connectivity. The Kestrel u5 has been configured specifically for use by rail operators, including pre-certification for IEC 50155 standards, so you can stay connected like never before.
The Kestrel u5 is sleek and compact at just 60 square centimeters and 8 centimeters thick. requires less than 100 W nominal power, which means it can be powered by solar panels, generators, or various alternative backup power options.
To get started, simply mount, connect to power, and connect to your modem and router. Kymeta terminals are designed for anyone to be able to easily install and get started, with no special training required.
The Kymeta Kestrel u5 offers flexible connection options to suit your specific requirements. Unlock multi‑orbit satellite connectivity for uninterrupted operations wherever you go. Our versatile solutions adapt to your use case, ensuring you stay connected wherever your journey takes you.
The terminal hosts the Kymeta™ Access app, a single pane of glass experience for the complete user terminal. The app allows you to manage every aspect of your terminal’s connectivity and even helps with the unboxing and installation experience.
The Kestrel u5 terminal is designed for multi-orbit connectivity, supporting seamless operation across Low Earth Orbit (LEO), Geostationary Orbit (GEO), and beyond. Simply connect compatible modem or modems and you're connected, virtually anywhere on earth.
GEO networks offer the most stable satellite connectivity option, with the trade-off that there is more latency than with lower orbits. With the Kestrel u5, you can connect to your own provider, or sign up for a Kymeta plan ranging from 5 to 240 GB/month, optimized connectivity via satellite, standard/TRANSEC satellite plans, and up to 10 terminals in one plan.
Thanks to their low latency, LEO networks are fast to connect to and are ideal for time-sensitive transactions and communications. With the Kestrel u5 terminal, you can work with your own network provider, or sign up for connectivity provided by Eutelsat, a leading provider of global satellite services.
With its compact profile, powerful performance and rugged exterior, the Kestrel u5 is a versatile satellite terminal with wide-ranging uses across a range of industries and applications.
Workhorse fleets pass in and out of connectivity, which can have an impact on safety and monitoring. Learn how operators are staying connected to their fleets like never before, thanks to connectivity solutions from Kymeta.
Operating in hostile environments and unpredictable seas, UXV operators rely on constant connectivity to maintain control, making resilient, uninterrupted networks absolutely mission-critical.
With wireless infrastructure between cities being inconsistent, Kymeta helps passenger bus and rail services to stay connected so they can maintain operations and provide access to their customers.
