Japan Display Inc. (JDI) has signed a strategic master supply agreement with Kymeta to jointly develop glass substrates for a next-generation metasurface antenna. This antenna is designed to operate simultaneously across Ku and Ka satellite frequency bands, enhancing multi-band communication capabilities.
The partnership combines JDI’s expertise in display glass technology with Kymeta’s leadership in metamaterials-based mobile satellite communications. The project aims to deliver the industry’s first metasurface terminal capable of supporting concurrent operation on both Ku and Ka bands.
**Why this matters**
The development of a multi-band metasurface antenna could significantly improve satellite communication by enabling more flexible and efficient use of frequency bands. This technology has the potential to enhance connectivity for mobile and remote applications, supporting growing demand for reliable, high-speed satellite links.
