Blue Origin to launch hybrid LEO/MEO network in late 2027
"The press release says that TeraWave will provide both point-to-point and enterprise-grade internet access. It will be aimed at the enterprise, data center, and government sectors. The Blue Origin network promises to offer symmetrical RF speeds as fast as 144 Gbps in addition to the 6 Tbps optical data rates. Coverage will be global, with a maximum of 100,000 customers served."
"Reliance on two orbits will facilitate "ultra-high" throughput links between global hubs and distributed, multigigabit user connections. The company says this will be particularly valuable in remote, rural and suburban areas in which diverse fiber paths can be problematic in terms of technical feasibility and the time it takes to deploy. The satellites will be launched by Blue Origin rockets and reusable rocket engines."
TeraWave will deploy during the fourth quarter of 2027 as a constellation of 5,408 interconnected satellites, comprising 5,280 LEO and 128 MEO satellites. The network will provide both point-to-point and enterprise-grade internet access aimed at enterprise, data center, and government sectors. Optical data rates will reach as fast as 6 Tbps, with symmetrical RF speeds up to 144 Gbps. Coverage will be global and serve up to 100,000 customers. Dual-orbit architecture will enable ultra-high throughput links between global hubs and distributed multigigabit user connections and target remote, rural, and suburban locations. Satellites will be launched by Blue Origin rockets using reusable engines. Blue Origin operations are separate from Amazon Leo, which has over 150 satellites and is conducting broader launches and customer previews.
