Project Kuiper is Amazon’s initiative to provide fast, affordable broadband to communities around the world that are currently unserved or underserved by traditional internet and communications options. To achieve this goal, Amazon will deploy thousands of satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO) linked to a global network of antennas, fiber, and internet connection points on the ground.
Billions of people around the world don’t have reliable access to broadband. Poor connectivity means limited access to modern communications, education, health services, and other important resources, which can create an economic disadvantage for unserved and underserved communities. At the same time, the network will also serve a wide range of customers, including schools, hospitals, businesses, government agencies, and others operating in places without reliable connectivity or that need more flexible, resilient communications capabilities. Project Kuiper plans to deploy service to many countries around the globe.
Satellite Service
Commercial Space companies deliver a variety of payloads to space, including establishing a network of satellites to better serve non and slow connection users to gain access to the internet fast lane. Amazon’s service will arrive with content for these users to access as well.
Space Age Introduction
Billions of people have little or no access to the internet. Project Kuiper will aid in the introduction of the internet by providing a low cost, wireless, satellite service.
