Amazon has deployed enough satellites to launch Leo service later this year

Thursday, July 2, 2026


Amazon has deployed sufficient satellites to begin operating its Leo internet service in 2024, according to the company. Leo will provide satellite-based broadband in competition with SpaceX's Starlink, which currently operates more than 10,000 satellites. Starlink began commercial service in 2020, approximately four years before Amazon's planned Leo launch.
