Amazon unveils production-ready gigabit-class Leo Ultra broadband terminal

Amazon has unveiled the final production version of Leo Ultra, the company’s highest-performing enterprise terminal for the low Earth orbit (LEO) broadband constellation it aims to bring into service next year.

Capable of download speeds up to 1 gigabit per second (Gbps) and upload speeds up to 400 megabits per second (Mbps), Amazon said Nov. 24 that Leo Ultra is currently the fastest commercial phased-array antenna in production.

SpaceX's in-service Starlink Performance Kit advertises peak download and upload speeds of 475 Mbps and 75 Mbps, though it aims to begin introducing gigabit-class service next year without requiring new terminal hardware after deploying upgraded, larger satellites on its Starship rocket, which is currently in development.

An Amazon executive said in September that internal performance testing had exceeded expectations following initial satellite deployments, with downlink speeds reaching up to 1.8 Gbps and uplinks around 450 Mbps.

As with all satellite broadband systems, actual user speeds depend on constellation capacity and can vary depending on network congestion.
