The challenge

Most industrial sites were built before today's data demands existed.

How it works

LEO satellite, simply explained

Four steps from space to your plant floor.

01
Satellites at 630 km altitude
55× closer than traditional geostationary satellites — which is why latency drops from 600ms to under 30ms.
02
Flat-panel terminal on site
Phased-array antennas with no moving parts. Electronically tracks satellites. Pole-mount, self-configuring via app.
03
Routes through AWS backbone
Traffic integrates directly with AWS — enabling hybrid-cloud OT architectures and AI analytics from any connected site.
04
Connectivity at the plant
Works as primary or backup link. Compatible with existing SCADA, MES, and historian systems — no protocol changes needed.

Every factory, plant, and site — on the same network.

Amazon Leo's constellation delivers sub-30ms latency to industrial sites that terrestrial networks can't reach.

About Amazon Leo

Connectivity for places the internet hasn't reached.

Amazon Leo (formerly Project Kuiper) is Amazon's low Earth orbit satellite internet constellation. Enterprise preview is live. Commercial launch is mid-2026.

Leo integrates natively with AWS — enabling seamless data movement from any connected site to cloud storage, analytics, and AI workloads.
