From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kymeta is an Intellectual Ventures spin-off company which is to receive $12 million in funding to develop and commercialize the metamaterials surface antenna technology (M-SAT). Kymeta received funding from Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates; a global cable company Liberty Global; and the investment firm Lux Capital. Kymeta's applied science is derived from the collaborative efforts of Dr. Nathan Kundtz and David R. Smith, at Duke University. metamaterials surface antenna technology is a new invention that is intended to be more efficient and compact than conventional satellite antennas.[1][2][3][4][5][6]
