[Amazon Expands Satellite Internet, Plans to Deploy 5,105 Satellites by 2028 to Challenge SpaceX Starlink]
BlockBeats News, July 27: Amazon has submitted an application to the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC), planning to launch and deploy a low-Earth orbit satellite constellation consisting of 5,105 satellites by 2028. This constellation is intended to provide Direct-to-Device mobile communication services. The plan will further expand Amazon's satellite internet project and directly challenge SpaceX's Starlink in the global satellite communication sector.
Reportedly, Amazon aims to offer satellite mobile connectivity without requiring additional hardware through its large-scale low-Earth orbit satellite network. The future coverage may extend to remote areas, maritime regions, and locations where traditional communication networks are difficult to reach. Currently, SpaceX has been advancing the commercialization of satellite internet through Starlink and exploring direct satellite-to-phone services. Amazon's expansion signifies an escalation in competition within the global satellite communication market.
