Amazon is preparing to launch its Leo satellite internet service before the end of 2026, aiming to compete directly with SpaceX’s Starlink. The company has already deployed more than 390 satellites, enough to support continuous coverage across its first service areas.
The service will offer three receiver options. The Nano terminal measures 7 by 7 inches and supports speeds up to 100 Mbps. The Pro terminal is 11 by 11 inches with speeds up to 400 Mbps. The largest, the Ultra terminal, is 20 by 30 inches and can deliver up to 1 Gbps.
Like Starlink, Amazon Leo is built to expand connectivity in areas underserved by traditional broadband. With the use of Low Earth Orbit satellites, it promises faster speeds and lower latency compared to older satellite systems.
Apart from its global rollout, Amazon Leo is also eyeing entry into the Philippine market sometime this year, with regulatory filings already in place. The move is expected to increase competition and improve internet access for more Filipinos.
