Are they “more affordable and more capable” than SpaceX Starlink?
There’s also an even more compact terminal weighing only one pound and measuring just seven inches square. Amazon says this device is its “smallest and most affordable” one and can deliver speeds up to 100MBps, making it ideal for anyone who needs a low-cost internet option or service on the go. Lastly, Amazon showed off its commercial terminal that’s meant for use by large companies or government organizations.
All of these terminals come outfitted with Amazon’s in-house baseband chip, nicknamed Prometheus. According to Amazon, the chip “combines the processing power of a 5G modem chip found in modern smartphones, the capability of a cellular base station to handle traffic from thousands of customers at once, and the ability of a microwave backhaul antenna to support powerful point-to-point connection.
“Our goal with Project Kuiper is not just to connect unserved and underserved communities, but also to delight them with the quality, reliability, and value of their service,” Rajeev Badyal, Amazon’s vice president of technology for Project Kuiper, says in a statement.
