Overview
- Leo Ultra is rated for up to 1 Gbps downloads and 400 Mbps uploads, using a full‑duplex phased‑array antenna with custom Amazon silicon in a weather‑hardened chassis.
- The system targets enterprise and government use with secure private networking, dedicated VPN options, and direct integration with AWS via Private Network Interconnect.
- Access is confined to a private preview program, with trials at Hunt Energy Network, Crane Worldwide Logistics, JetBlue, Connected Farms, and Vanu.
- Amazon is beginning with a selective constellation, reported at about 150 operational satellites in the first stage, rather than a mass deployment.
- Pricing remains undisclosed, and broader availability is planned for 2026 as Amazon positions Leo Ultra against Starlink’s current ~400 Mbps tier and SpaceX’s projected V3 upgrades.
