Stay connected even in rough conditions, whether you’re on the open ocean, inland waterways, or near shore. For freighters, commercial fishing vessels and super yachts, the Peregrine™ u8 is Kymeta’s purpose-built maritime solution for LEO, designed to seamlessly integrate with your vessel’s IT infrastructure.
The Kymeta Peregrine u8 is a turnkey terminal designed for maritime applications. Its sleek, low-profile and aerodynamic design fits in gracefully to the design of any vessel, while the hydrophobic shell, water drain ports and variety of mounting solutions mean the Peregrine u8 is right at home on the water.
Optimized for the unique challenges of maritime operations, the Peregrine u8’s built-in motion compensation ensures a steady connection, even in rough seas. It contains zero moving parts, so issues with jostling or vibration are nullified. And, with the industry’s widest operating temperature range, the u8 platform has repeatedly proven its durability in providing continuous connectivity in harsh conditions.
The Peregrine u8 is designed to work in conjunction with the Eutelsat OneWeb network, a Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite network that offers low-latency data transmission. And, with its hybrid cellular capability, it can switch dynamically between satellite and cellular networks, further enhancing its versatility for maritime applications.
Traditional maritime antennas are bulky, requiring high power and below-deck hardware. In contrast, the slim, energy-efficient Peregrine u8 requires no specialized installation equipment and can be easily installed onboard within hours, rather than days.
The Peregrine u8 requires less than 100W nominal power, which means it can be powered by solar panels, generators, or various alternative backup power options. Even when switching between send and receive, or dynamically switching to a new satellite on the move, the power draw remains minimal.
Get the iOS- and Android-native Kymeta Access app, or log in to the web portal for an intuitive interactive experience. The app allows you to manage every aspect of your device’s connectivity, and even helps with the unboxing and installation experience.
With the Peregrine u8, you can access the growing list of LEO networks currently being deployed around the world. LEO networks have low latency, superior indoor penetration, and are incredibly accurate. Work with your own network provider or sign up for LEO services from Eutelsat OneWeb, a leading provider of global satellite connectivity.
Our future-proof solution’s flexibility allows vessel operators to seamlessly integrate emerging technologies, optimize data-driven operations, and stay compliant with changing regulations, all while maximizing their return on investment in communication infrastructure.
You need always-on connectivity to access IoT data to monitor containers, vessels, weather conditions, and critical communications to keep your operation safe and efficient. Your crew needs a solution that allows access to email, social media, and data to stay up-to-date and competitive.
Owners, guests and crew of today’s elite luxury yachts and cruise ships expect seamless access to entertainment, social media, video conferencing and operational communications. See how the Peregrine u8 with LEO connectivity solves this unique challenge.
Purpose-built and rigorously tested, the Kymeta Peregrine u8 terminal offers hassle-free compatibility with LEO and LTE networks, so you can stay seamlessly connected on your maritime adventures.
