Under Nathan's leadership, Kymeta Corporation developed the mTenna suite of radically new satellite antennas. The mTenna antennas are built on electromagnetic metamaterials technology and are ultra-thin Ku- and Ka-band antennas that use a holographic approach to electronically acquire, steer, and lock a beam to any satellite, with no moving parts. This ground-breaking technology has the ability to exploit both the unicast and multicast power of fixed and mobile satellites, which will allow the satellite industry to reach markets never before addressed.

The mTenna antennas are thinner, flatter, and lighter than traditional satellite antennas, which means that they can be integrated into solutions that are low profile and easy to install. Additionally, because there are no moving parts, there is less maintenance required. Solutions empowered with mTenna technology will deliver levels of scalability and affordability far outside the scope of what

Nathan Kundtz received their PhD in Physics from Duke University, followed by their M.S. in Electrical Engineering from the same school. Nathan then completed their B.S. in Engineering Physics at Case Western Reserve University.
