    When your team puts the real numbers on paper. Appreciate Clive Nethersole and Richard Westby-Nunn for this one. If WAN resilience is on your roadmap, this is a solid starting point.

    I've spent a lot of time in conversations where enterprise backup comes up and everyone in the room already knows the answer is "not great, but its what we have." That's the part that's changing. Richard Westby-Nunn and I wrote a paper on LEO for enterprise WAN resilience and what the architecture actually looks like, where it integrates, and where it doesn't. No hype, just the numbers and the trade-offs. Worth a read if WAN resilience is on your radar. Download -> https://lnkd.in/epmWeTzg #AmazonLeo

    With 1000+ satellites built and more coming off the line each day, Amazon Leo now operates one of the largest, most advanced satellite production lines on the planet. From two prototypes to a full-rate production line, every Leo satellite is designed, built, and tested at our factory in Kirkland, WA. Getting here meant standing up a satellite factory from scratch, compressing test cycles that traditionally take months into days, and learning from every piece of hardware we broke along the way. The result: 1,000+ satellites built. Close to 400 in orbit. The rest tested, staged, and ready to launch on as little as three weeks' notice. At Cape Canaveral and in French Guiana, satellites are already stacked on their dispensers for our first Vulcan launches with United Launch Alliance (ULA) and our next mission with ARIANESPACE. Here's an inside look: https://lnkd.in/eKUh_ak9

    We’re partnering with Uztelecom, the leading telecommunications operator in Uzbekistan, to bring satellite connectivity to remote and hard-to-reach communities across the country. UZ-SAT will serve as an authorized distributor of Amazon Leo, complementing Uztelecom's extensive terrestrial network and helping close the digital divide for millions of people.

    Live from virtually anywhere. Straight to the cloud. At IBC - International Broadcasting Convention, Amazon Leo joined AWS to show how high-speed, low-latency satellite connectivity can help broadcasters move live footage from the field to the cloud in near real time — enabling remote production, faster collaboration, and new ways to reach audiences. Across customer meetings and our executive roundtable on the future of connectivity, one theme came through clearly: the opportunity goes beyond coverage. It’s about fitting into the workflows broadcasters already trust, changing the economics of live production, and giving customers greater control over how their content moves.

    Nadine started at an Amazon delivery station in 2018. Eight years later, she stood at Cape Canaveral at sunset, watching a rocket carry satellites she helped build into low Earth orbit. Jessica started at a fulfillment center in Colorado. Today she works in our space simulation lab, testing satellite components against vacuum, extreme heat, cold, and vibration. Once they're up there, everything has to be perfect. Both earned aerospace manufacturing certifications through Amazon's Career Choice program, a prepaid tuition benefit that covers the cost of education for eligible employees. Their six-month program at Lake Washington Institute of Technology was fully funded by Amazon. Both were hired onto the Leo team before or shortly after graduating. Earlier this year, they joined teams in Cape Canaveral to watch Leo Atlas 7 (LA-07) lift off aboard an Atlas V rocket. You don't need to be a rocket scientist to build satellites. The space industry's biggest gap is in skilled technical roles, and Career Choice is helping make those careers accessible. Read more: https://spr.ly/6048B17OvO

    Leo Direct-to-Device (D2D) Update Following our agreement to acquire Globalstar, we've filed with the Federal Communications Commission to deploy the Leo D2D System—up to 5,105 new satellites that will bring voice, data, messaging, and emergency services directly to compatible mobile devices. The system will operate alongside our Gen 1 and Gen 2 broadband systems, as well as Globalstar’s HIBLEO and C-3 satellite constellations, forming a unified network to connect more customers in more places around the world. Deployment will begin in 2028, and we’re excited to work with Globalstar, Apple and partners to deliver on our long-term vision for the service. Learn more: https://spr.ly/6044BEaoiY

    Not a bad way to spend a summer! Front-row seat to a launch they helped make happen. Grateful to the Leo interns and the team who welcomed them.

    Amazon Leo recently deployed 29 more satellites on the Leo Atlas 8 (LA-08) mission, and our summer interns experienced it from Mission Control. On July 2, ULA's Atlas V rocket carried 29 Amazon Leo satellites to low Earth orbit. It was our 14th mission, bringing our total to nearly 400, the third-largest constellation in orbit. The interns in this video were part of it. From our operations center in Redmond, Washington, they witnessed the team take control of the satellites minutes after launch from Cape Canaveral, FL. Not a bad way to spend a summer. Leo's next launch with ULA will be on their new heavy-lift Vulcan rocket, with service to customers beginning later this year.
