At CABSAT 2023, Kymeta, a world leader in flat panel satellite antennas, announced that telecom service provider Azyan Telecom (azyansat.om) signed a significant order for its Hawk u8 terminals connected by OneWeb, bringing Kymeta and OneWeb's one-of-a-kind LEO (Low Earth Orbit) offering to Oman for the first time. The agreement will allow for the regional extension of national telecom capabilities, accelerating efforts to build ubiquitous high-speed, low-latency communications capabilities throughout the Sultanate.

 

Kymeta's electronically steered flat panel Hawk u8, enabled by a software-first approach, will help deliver reliable, truly mobile broadband connectivity across sectors in Oman connected via OneWeb's LEO satellite constellation, including in areas where challenging terrain and frequent hurricanes frequently impede high-speed connectivity offerings. The agreement comes shortly after Kymeta announced that the Hawk u8 is now commercially accessible worldwide.

 

“As access to mobile broadband becomes increasingly imperative for progress across every major industry, Kymeta has doubled down on our commitment to deliver truly mobile connectivity to customers around the world,” said Walter Berger, President and Co-CEO, Kymeta. “We are invigorated by the opportunity to deliver our solutions to the Sultanate of Oman alongside Azyan Telecom, which we see as an emblematic step forward as we continue to expand our partnerships in the region.”

 

Ahmed Saber, Chief Operation Officer, Azyan Telecom added, “Today marks an exciting milestone, both for the growth of Oman’s LEO market and our efforts to enhance high-speed satellite connectivity for companies and communities across the region. Our deal with Kymeta will allow us to deliver on the widespread demand for reliable connectivity, in line with Oman's digital transformation strategy. We are thrilled at the opportunity to expand upon our offerings in support of industries across Oman and grateful for the continued support of the Telecommunication Regulatory Authority.”
