Amazon’s New Space Internet Service in 2024
Amazon Receives FCC Approval for New Space Internet Service
Amazon has revealed its new home internet service that will reach hundreds of millions of people. The space internet service, similar to Elon Musk’s Starlink enterprise, is expected to launch in 2024.
Amazon recently received FCC approval for its new service. This means that Amazon can begin testing up to 1,000 of its satellite dishes. These prototypes have already been installed throughout the United States, with satellite launches slated for later this year.
Amazon CEO Updates Shareholders on Internet Service
Regarding the new internet service, Amazon CEO Andy Jassy provided an update to shareholders in a recent letter. Jassy mentioned that “In October, we hit a major milestone in our journey to commercialize Project Kuiper when we launched two end-to-end prototype satellites into space, and successfully validated all key systems and sub-systems—rare in an initial launch like this.”
Amazon’s Space Internet Service: Testing and Speed
The space internet service from Amazon is designed to serve both businesses and homes. It promises speeds of up to 1 Gbps, equivalent to 1,000 megabits. While this high-speed connection would be beneficial for large corporations, individual customers may opt for a slower speed depending on their needs. The exact monthly cost of Amazon’s new internet service is currently undisclosed.
Amazon Aims to Provide Affordable Service
Amazon aims to undercut competitors like Starlink in terms of pricing for its new internet service. According to Cord Cutter News, Amazon hopes to offer a more cost-effective solution to reach 400-500 million households with high-speed internet access.
With plans to launch its first production satellites in 2024, Amazon’s space internet service is on track to revolutionize internet connectivity on a global scale. Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting development in the tech world!
