"No pricing or availability details have been announced, but this gives us our first good look at the 20-by-30-inch design and specs of the new antenna. Amazon claims Leo Ultra is "the fastest customer terminal in production," offering up to 1Gbps downloads and 400Mbps uploads simultaneously, along with private networking services and direct connections to Amazon Web Services (AWS) and other cloud networks."
"A smaller 11-inch Pro antenna will support up to 400 Mbps down, while the 7-inch-square Nano will be able to handle up to 100Mbps. For comparison, Starlink's business plans support up to 400Mbps downloads, less than half of the maximum Amazon is advertising, although SpaceX's upcoming V3 Starlink satellite will reportedly support up to 1Tbps. Additional bandwidth aside, the private networking services on Amazon Leo could be another major advantage over older, pre-Starlink satellite internet networks currently in use."
Amazon is launching Leo Ultra, a 20-by-30-inch satellite antenna in a private preview aimed at business and government customers with a commercial rollout next year. Leo Ultra supports simultaneous 1Gbps downloads and 400Mbps uploads and offers private networking services and direct connections to Amazon Web Services and other clouds. Two smaller terminals include an 11-inch Pro (up to 400Mbps) and a 7-inch Nano (up to 100Mbps). The speeds exceed current Starlink business plans, though SpaceX’s V3 satellites are expected to offer far higher capacity. Private networking may mitigate risks exposed by unencrypted GEO satellite links that exposed calls, messages, credentials, and emails.
