Faster Internet Everywhere Always

Vern Fotheringham is CEO of Kymeta, which was recently spun out of Intellectual Ventures to commercialize a novel satellite antenna that could bring broadband access anywhere on earth, and for considerably cheaper than existing technologies. We caught up with Fotheringham to learn how you get better Wi-Fi on an airplane, what invisibility and connectivity have in common, and why our YouTube videos still frustratingly stall on our smartphones.

Kymeta’s mTennaTM products will simplify the connection between mobile users and high capacity Ka-band communications satellites, allowing passengers on planes, trains, boats, automobiles and other vehicles to enjoy the same kind of broadband experience that they already have at home or in the office.

Kymeta is working on a wide range of innovative and highly competitive products, including: Portable Satellite Hotspot (PSH) Laptop-sized, transportable end-user terminals delivered to customers via established and specialized distributors.
