Kymeta has been developing products aimed at bringing affordable high-speed data service to mobile locations such as planes, trains, oil rigs and vehicles. Kymetas satellite terminals have a proprietary beam-steering antenna design based on synthetic metamaterials, which can bend electromagnetic waves in ways that natural materials cant. The antennas are flat; the smallest is about the size and shape of a laptop. They are equipped with an array of metamaterial elements that can be electronically tuned to maintain a satellite connection. This is a non-NDA version of a presentation on Kymeta developed for the Satellite2013 industry conference in March. The original had many animations - I have replaced these with screen grabs where possible.
