Slick Sheet

About

Project Kuiper now rebranded as Amazon Leo is Amazon’s upcoming low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite broadband network, designed to deliver fast, affordable internet service to communities and businesses around the world. The constellation will include more than 3,200 satellites operating in LEO to provide high-speed, low-latency connectivity for homes, enterprises, government agencies, aviation, and maritime customers. Backed by Amazon’s global scale and integration with AWS (Amazon Web Services), Kuiper is positioned to deliver cloud-optimized connectivity and edge services in addition to broadband access. After successfully launching prototype satellites in 2023, Amazon plans to begin deploying the operational constellation in the coming years, with commercial service expected to go online by mid-2026. Once operational, Project Kuiper will compete with SpaceX’s Starlink and OneWeb, expanding Amazon’s role in global communications.
