Amazon is set to launch its satellite internet service, Leo, by mid-2026, with promised download speeds reaching up to 1Gbps. CEO Andy Jassy made this announcement in his annual letter, emphasizing the potential benefits of faster speeds and integration with Amazon's existing products. However, further details regarding the service remain undisclosed.
As Leo progresses, it faces competition from other providers like Starlink, which currently leads in the market. Additionally, Amazon's slower satellite deployment raises concerns about its ability to meet these ambitious targets. The company aims to differentiate itself by offering a service not associated with high-profile figures like Elon Musk.
