Kymeta Expands Distribution Network to Support Remote Alternative Energy Facilities

Kymeta announces partnership with FMC GlobalSat to deliver global
satellite communications to the renewable energy industry

REDMOND, Wash. & FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#connectivity–Kymeta—the communications company making good on the promise of global
mobile connectivity—today announced it has expanded its distribution
network to include FMC GlobalSat. The new partnership will make
efficient and reliable satellite communications and internet
connectivity available to wind, solar, geothermal, and other renewable
energy facilities.

The renewable energy market has traditionally been limited to available
connectivity options, like fiber optic cables and microwave
point-to-point systems, which are very expensive, don’t work everywhere,
and often do not provide reliable connectivity. This is problematic for
renewable energy facilities, where power grids require consistent load
balancing, monitoring, security, safety protocol management, and asset
management.

“Renewable energy operations most often exist in remote locations far
away from major metropolitan areas and have few or no options for
connectivity,” said Steve Sybeldon, Vice President Business Development,
Kymeta Corporation. “Kymeta solutions are reliable, utilize satellite
communications that are available where terrestrial solutions are not,
and are compatible with future LEO satellite constellations.”

“As the renewable energy sector continues to evolve and mature,
leveraging site data and the ability to communicate that data quickly
and securely is critical,” said Chris MacDonald, Chief Operating Officer
at FMC GlobalSat. “Until now, the industry has been forced to choose
between communication options with serious flaws. They were either
outdated and unsecure, extremely cost prohibitive, or unreliable. The
partnership between FMC GlobalSat and Kymeta allows us to bring to
market a solution that cost-effectively and securely allows the industry
not only to comply with regulators, but also to empower renewable energy
owners and operators to access the full volume of data that is
available.”

Kymeta™ KyWay™ terminals provide easy, reliable access to a
satellite-based network at a fraction of the cost of current
connectivity alternatives for the renewable energy market. “Renewable
energy operators can’t afford to have their power grid go offline, or to
lose communication with their powerplant, even momentarily. When
terrestrial networks go down in a storm or a natural disaster, it’s
possible for connectivity to the grid to be lost. Kymeta satellite
solutions curtail many of the limitations experienced with terrestrial
networks,” said Sybeldon.

Kymeta’s flat panel, lightweight, beam-forming antennas have no moving
parts, making them maintenance-free, easy to position, and easy to
control. In addition, Kymeta connects to high-throughput satellite
coverage, making high-speed connectivity available anywhere and at any
time.

“The days of having to choose between security, function, and cost are
over, and the challenges of dealing with multiple providers all over the
world has been solved,” said MacDonald. “Our solutions enable customers
to connect to SCADA systems, and manage and optimize assets on a global
scale, in a way that has never been possible. We are excited to be
bringing a complete and needed global connectivity solution to the
industry.”

About Kymeta

What’s the missing link to connecting billions of people to high-speed
mobile access? Antennas. And Kymeta offers the world’s only commercially
viable electronically scanning satellite antennas and terminals. Kymeta
antennas and terminals deliver high-throughput communications for land,
sea and air, making mobile connectivity as available as a view of the
sky. Plus, the world’s largest satellite operator, Intelsat, has joined
forces with Kymeta to deliver KĀLO™ global access services that combine
with Kymeta antennas and terminals to provide revolutionary mobile
connectivity. Without Kymeta mTenna™ technology, connecting and staying
connected to all those new satellites while on the move will be
difficult, if not impossible.

If it moves, Kymeta will keep it connected. Anywhere.
