Amazon Leo is the online retailer’s satellite internet access network, currently being tested with selected customers to deliver efficiency and satisfaction with speeds of 1Gbps.
According to Amazon, this connection will be available “virtually anywhere thanks to its new antennas, notably the Leo Ultra.” The company explains that the network already has “more than 150 satellites in orbit to offer the Amazon Leo service in areas where fiber optic access is unavailable.”
The trial is being conducted with selected customers across its enterprise range, as a preliminary step to the planned commercial rollout in 2026. It features three antenna models for different access speeds.
In this regard, “the Amazon Leo Ultra antenna offers a flat-screen design with high performance, enabling download speeds of up to 1 Gbps and upload speeds of up to 400 Mbps. This makes it the fastest antenna currently available.” The Leo Pro model has download speeds of up to 400 Mbps, and the Leo Nano, a tiny antenna, sacrifices some speed, reaching 100 Mbps.
These antennas incorporate a “proprietary chip designed by Amazon Leo, as well as proprietary RF technologies that maximize performance while reducing latency.” The company will offer network management tools and end-to-end encryption for enhanced security in enterprise environments; direct communication with AWS as well as other cloud and local networks.
